Hull High School Announces AP Scholars

HULL — Principal Paula Girouard McCann is pleased to announce that 21 students at Hull High School earned Advanced Placement Scholar Awards following their exceptional achievement on AP exams.

Every year, the College Board, which administers the AP exams, recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ performance.

The 21 students who earned AP awards will be recognized with a certificate from the Hull School Committee during a meeting on Oct. 16.

Richard Barone and Kiernan Leahy from the Class of 2017 received the National AP Scholar Award by earning an average of a 4 or higher on a five point scale on all AP exams taken, and grades of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams.

Nine members of the Class of 2017 earned the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by scoring an average of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams. These students are: Richard Barone, Stacia Foresta, Luis Gonzalez, Daria Healey, Kiernan Leahy, Nolan Palma, James Rosado, Lauren Saniuk and Ethan Wagner.

John Dahill and Aldan Leahy from the Class of 2017 were awarded with the AP Scholar with Honor Award after earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams.

Eight students, six from the Class of 2017 and two from the Class of 2018, qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP Exams with grades of 3 or higher. The AP Scholars are Brianna Bennett, Nicole Dreishpoon, Megan Dunn (Class of 2018), Jamie Froio, Dylan Iorio, Emily Menice (Class of 2018), Emily O’Donnell and Erin Shea.

“Congratulations to all of our students who have received recognition from the College Board!” Principal McCann said. “Simply taking an AP course is an accomplishment in itself, so for students to receive these high scores and honors is something they can take tremendous pride in.”

Through more than 30 different college level courses and exams, AP provides motivated and academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn college credit or advanced placement at the college level, and stand out from their peers as they navigate the college admissions process.

More than 3,600 colleges and universities annually receive AP grades. More than 90 percent of four-year colleges in the U.S. report that AP students who score a 3 or higher on AP Exams typically experience greater academic success in college and enjoy higher graduation rates than students who do not participate in the AP program as high school students.

ROCKLAND — Principal John Harrison is pleased to announce that Rockland High School has begun a new “Top Dog Club” to recognize seniors who have gone above and beyond as students.

Each Friday, RHS staff will select two seniors who have exemplified the school’s core values of achievement, perseverance, character and collaboration by making a positive impact on the Rockland community. 

So far, this year’s Top Dog award recipients are:

  • Eden Dalton
  • Aiden Glennon
  • Sydney McKenna
  • Ronan McNally
  • Hannah Murphy
  • Chris Penney

Students who are named as a Top Dog will receive a long-sleeve shirt bearing this year’s theme of “Work Hard, Be Proud, and Lead the Pack,” as well as a sports pass to attend school sporting events at no cost for the entire school year. Additionally, certificates for the Top Dogs of the week will be posted outside the school cafeteria for students and staff to see. 

“This program is a great way to congratulate those students who have gone above and beyond during their time at Rockland High School, and we hope the recognition will encourage younger students to go the extra mile as they make their way through RHS,” said Principal Harrison. “I am so proud of the students who have been named Top Dogs so far this year, and look forward to watching this club continue to grow!”

Melrose Schools Work with Texas High School to Help Families in Need After Hurricane Harvey

MELROSE — Melrose High School Principal Jason Merrill and Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School Principal Brent Conway announce that the two schools are partnering with a Texas high school to help families in need following Hurricane Harvey.

With recovery and rebuilding efforts now underway, members of MHS and MVMMS wanted to do their part to help those affected by the hurricane in Texas. A Melrose resident, who has a work connection to Mayde Creek High School in Katy, Texas, suggested MHS and MVMMS partner with the school. Katy was hit with a devastating amount of rain and flooding, leaving many residents with nothing.

To assist those students, families and community members in need, Mayde Creek High School set up an Amazon.com Wish List. MHS and MVMMS have shared the link with students and parents, many of whom have selected items to send over to their sister school.

“Help comes in all forms, and while we may not be able to go to Texas to assist in the relief efforts, we can do something right here in Melrose,” Principal Merrill said. “For anyone looking for a way to support residents in Texas, we encourage you to check out Mayde Creek’s Amazon page and give what you can.”

“Students, faculty and staff at both the middle and high school really wanted to do their part to help families who were affected by Hurricane Harvey,” Principal Conway said. “Every little bit counts, and I want to commend the students who have taken the initiative to help their peers.”

Pepperell Police Arrest Student After Threat Made to High School Over Instagram

PEPPERELL — Chief David Scott reports that the Pepperell Police Department arrested a student after he made a threat against North Middlesex Regional High School over Instagram last night.

SANJAY DALEY, 18, OF PEPPERELL was arrested and charged with Threats of Dangerous Items (a felony).

On Tuesday, Aug. 29, around 8:15 p.m., Pepperell Police received a report that a student at the high school posted a threat on Instagram, indicating he planned to harm others at the high school during their first day back.

North Middlesex Regional High School, located in Townsend, recently underwent a major new building project. Today is the first day students will be in the new high school.

Officers quickly learned the Instagram account belonged to DALEY and responded to his residence. Following an investigation, he was placed under arrest.

Chief Scott met with members of his command staff and the North Middlesex Regional School District administration late Tuesday night.

Out of an abundance of caution, Chief Scott contacted the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council’s School Threat Assessment Response System Team to assist with a controlled entry during the start of school this morning. Additional police officers were stationed at the school, and all people entering the building were required to pass through metal detectors.

“The safety of students, faculty and staff is our number one priority,” Chief Scott said. “We’re pleased to report that the controlled entry went well and that there is no danger to the community.”

DALEY was held overnight at the Pepperell Police Department pending his arraignment at Ayer District Court. The investigation remains open and ongoing.
