Henniker Community School & John Stark to share Chinese teacher
The U.S.-China Teachers Exchange Program,
established in 1996 by the National
Committee on U.S. China Relations with
funding from the Freeman Foundation, will
bring Ms. Zhang Yang to the United States
to teach Chinese language and culture at
the Henniker Community School and John
Stark Regional High School in the coming
school year. Zhang Yang is one of 10 Chinese
teachers traveling to the U.S. for this
program. There are five American teachers
traveling to China to teach English this year
in this exchange program.
“We are ever so pleased to welcome Ms.
Zhang to our faculty team for this school
year,” said John Stark Principal Christopher
Corkery. “In addition to having her
continue Chinese language instruction for
our world language students, we are looking
forward to having her infuse cultural lessons
across our curriculum by co-teaching with
other faculty members.
21st Century Skills are universal and
the perspective Ms. Zhang can offer our
school community is invaluable,” continued
Corkery. She is expected to arrive in New
Hampshire just prior to the opening day of
school on August 28 and will reside with a
local family.
“The idea to be part of this exchange with
the National Committee on U.S. China Relations
came about more than 10 years ago in
Henniker because of our Artist in Residency
program,” said HCS Principal Katherine
McBride. “After that first very successful
year, we decided the logical progression
would be to share a Chinese Exchange
teacher with John Stark. This way our students
have the opportunity to be exposed to
Chinese language and cultural opportunities
through their high school years,” continued
McBride.
The cost for the Henniker Community
School and John Stark Regional High School
to host a Chinese Exchange Teacher through
this program is $5,000 and is shared equally
by the two districts.

Hillsboro Lions host successful Golf Tournament
With sunny skies and low humidity it
was a perfect day for the Hillsboro Lions
Club's Annual Golf Tournament on Saturday.
Off to a shotgun start, the 56 golfers
finished their 18 holes and sat down
to a fabulous lunch provided by Angus
Lea owners Curt and Linda Niven.
According to chairs Karen Booth,
Barbara Hays and Ann Mooney, an
abundance of sponsorships by local
merchants allowed the Lions to raise
over $6,000 for its community service
projects such as Christmas Baskets,
Downtown Holiday Lights, HDES Audio
& Sight Testing, RIF and the Senior
Citizen's Dinner.
