Frances Boudreau
Integral part of WHS
bv BEN DeC.ENNARO
WILMINGTON Mrs
Frances Boudreau is an integral
part of Wilmington High School .
She is one of the nicest and most
thoughtful teachers at WHS. After
graduating high school. Mrs.
Boudreau wasn't sure what her
career goal would be. She decided
to attend Salem Slate College. A
degree from Salem would give her
the flexibility to enter the business
world, or become a teacher. It
wasn't until she did her student
teaching at Lowell High School that
she realized this was the profession
that she would like to pursue.
Mrs. Boudreau began teaching at
WHS after graduating from Salem
State and has been with us for the
past 34 years. She was hired by
Superintendent Harold Shea and
Principal Bernard McMahon. She
has taught a variety of courses and
is now enjoying the new computer
technology lab. After all these
years, Mrs. Boudreau says that she
still loves teaching - attitude is most
important, and you have to have a
good sense of humor.

Frances Boudreau with her students
Each year, during the first week
of school. Mrs. Boudreau gives her
students a few words of wisdom:
try hard, never give up. be kind and
have fun! She hopes that these will
help them, not just in school, but
throughout their lives. She loves
working with students and helping
them as much as she can. Mrs.
Boudreau loves to see her students
cninusiasuc aooui learning and tells
them they should be proud of what
they have accomplished.
Mrs. Boudreau especially enjoys
when former students return as
guest speakers; or just to visit. Also,
at WHS Open Houses, she meets
many former students who are now
parents. She wonders "Am I really
thatold?-
Over the years, Mrs. Boudreau
has been a class advisor, an acting
department chairperson, and has
been an advisor to business clubs.
Currently, she serves as the
Distributive Education Clubs of
America (DECA) advisor. She feels
that this is a wonderful opportunity
for marketing students to compete
with students from other schools.
She commented that "Whenever we
go to competitions, our students are
recognized as being respectful
young 'ladies and gentlemen' Your
teaching style must be working,
Mrs. Boudreau."
She is the type of person who will
"bend over backward" to help you,
and I want her to know that she is
appreciated, and held in the highest
regard at Wilmington High School.
