I would like to nominate Laura Leonard as a star of the week. She has taken herself more seriously on and off the basketball court and has become a leader on the JV basketball team this year. She has been doing very well in her classes by participating and doing all her homework. She has [...]

On more than one occasion after a night of some “social” drinking in high school, I would stumble home and try to convince my mom nothing was wrong. Despite my slurred speech, my stumbling, and the stench of barley and hops, I still lied. At that point in my life, I was the kind [...]

I would like to nominate Derek Kubitz for Star of the Week. I asked him to do a write up of Saturday’s Boys JV Basketball game, and Derek came through with flying colors. He wrote a great report and did it within hours of the game. He is a real star!

It’s clear that our country has a self-esteem problem. Where else are trophies given out simply for participating or honor societies developed for the mediocre? New York Times reporter Winnie Hu traveled out to Commack, NY, near my hometown on Long Island, to examine the ever-expanding phenomenon of honor societies in High Schools. While I [...]

One of my responsibilities here at Hyde is teaching 9th grade English. This year, the class consists of eight boys and one girl. It is always an adventure working with kids who only last year were in middle school. The energy of a younger teenager is quite different from that of an older teen. For [...]

Kelly Xie- The girl that arrived her first week here at Hyde is much different from the one we see today. She was scared, had reservations about Brother’s Keeper, and vocalized how she did not want to do the character part. This changed quickly. Just as she was open about her fears, she was also [...]

While walking around Harvard Square waiting for my wife to finish up class a few weeks ago, I was struck by the sign seen in the accompanying picture. I have to say, I was taken aback. There was no one behind the table nor any hidden cameras or spies (that I could see). Smack dab [...]

Sarah DeNunzio played her first game on Saturday making the long trip to Bath. Sarah took command of the WJVS team with her play but more importantly by her soccer experience. In the middle of the first half Sarah launched a ball past the Bath goal keeper. The team lost but Sarah’s dominance on the [...]
