CONGRATULATIONS STUDENT CONGRESS TEAM!!
This is an update to let everyone know about some great activites at Greely. In October, we started a Student Congress team to go along with the Lincold Douglas-style debate we've been doing for more than 10 years. By early December, this new group had already earned two first place trophies for Greely.
David Hamilton and Ian Philbrick earned the December trophies, while January has seen additional trophies for David, Ian, and also two trophies for Bob Potts. Our most recent trophy is in the main office today.
Greely's Lincoln-Douglas team has, in the same period of time, earned several awards, foremost of which has been a recent first place honor for Hanna Willwerth, along with trophy-winning excellent performances from Rob Visentin and Chris Lyden.
Please congratulate these students if you are so inclined. Their hard work has earned our school a fearsome reputation and we go into State finals this weekend with confidence and a hope to add to our school's trophy case.
Attention Class of 2010 parents: please make sure that you have submitted
two photos (one young and one current) for the Class Day DVD by the
December break. You may bring reprints (no originals, please) to
Mrs. Thibault in room 146 or send them electronically
Hello Everyone,
As you may know, I have been on leave since November after undergoing a significant medical procedure. Over the last few weeks, I have been actively participating in a comprehensive physical recovery program that has been very beneficial. The efforts of the GHS staff to support our students during my absence has been extraordinary.
I look forward to returning soon and seeing everyone again in the new year.
Sincerely
Chris Mosca
Principal GHS
The Greely High School Mission
Greely High School is committed to high academic expectations for each student. We value teaching and learning in a safe and supportive environment which fosters respect for all. We work together so that students learn to communicate clearly and think critically. We promote lifelong learning and encourage students to take responsibility for themselves as individuals and as members of their community.
Connecting Community through Stories,Trails, and Technology
Students and teachers at Greely High School are participating in a three-year grant funded by the National Science Foundation. The CREST(Community for Rural Education Stewardship & Technology) project will train 44 teachers and 55 students in 11 schools along the coast of Maine in Geographic Information Systems, web design, and ethnographic research skills and teach them how to use these skills to assist their community. Students are working to develop a web resource of trails and interviews to help connect residents of Cumberland and North Yarmouth.
