LUNENBURG HIGH SCHOOLMichael G. Barney, PrincipalLunenburg High School was a hub for academic and social activity in 2007-2008. Even the summer was a busy time formany of the faculty and students at LHS. Teachers attended several professional development workshops and tookcourses ranging from how to use technology effectively with our ever-changing learners to Advance PlacementInstitutes. Several of our students participated in the second annual Presidential Academy at Mount WachusettCommunity College, studying Psychology. I had the opportunity to participate in several professional developmentexperiences including a course on the implementation of the newly endorsed Massachusetts Model for SchoolCounseling and Career Benchmarks and the Massachusetts Secondary Schools Administrators State Conference,where I had the opportunity to meet Governor Patrick and hear him speak about his vision of public education inMassachusetts. We also welcomed eleven new teachers and a new assistant principal to the LHS family to begin theyear.Thursday homerooms this year were dedicated to choice personalized reading (CPR) for all staff and students topromote literacy skills and support our mission of lifelong learning as well as to address time in learning requirementsat the state level. We were excited about this opportunity for the entire school to engage in reading once a week as acommunity, truly supporting our mission of developing habits of lifelong learning.SCHOOL/COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPSThe STEP (Senior Transition Experience Program) students held a welcome breakfast for their sponsors in Septemberat the high school. Beginning its fifth year, the STEP program engages community mentors with high school seniors toexpand learning beyond the classroom and give students a personalized experience tailored to their post-secondaryinterests. The breakfast was a chance for LHS to recognize and thank our mentors, have the students introduce thementors to each other, and celebrate this important part of senior year as recognized by several national studies,including Breaking Ranks II.In October, Mark Mainella addressed the freshman and sophomore class as part of the GEMS curriculum. The focus ofhis presentation, “Your Future, Living The Dream,” addressed attitude, respect, responsibility and being the best one iscapable of being. Mr. Mainella celebrated 30 years as a highly recommended speaker in America’s best high schoolsacross the country, and we enjoyed having him inspire our students and reinforce our GEMS curriculum.MCAS RESULTSLHS celebrated MCAS scores, which were recently released. In the first round of Biology tests, 95% of our studentspassed on the first attempt (compared to 76% state-wide), and 67% of those tested were advanced/proficient (comparedto 42% state-wide). In ELA, our scores were 83% in advanced/proficient (compared to 71% state), and in Math wescored 81% advanced/proficient (compared to 69% state), with 54% in the advanced range (compared to 42% state).We were also very pleased to learn that 44 seniors at Lunenburg High School received the state’s John and AbigailAdams Scholarship this year. The scholarship is available to students whose MCAS performance puts them at the top25 percent of their district. To be eligible, students must either score Advanced on one exam and Proficient on theother, or Advanced on both the English and Math exams.HOMECOMING AND ATHLETICSOur annual homecoming tradition was again a wonderful town-wide event, with the parade down Main Streetshowcasing floats built by all four classes, followed by the football game and the dance. Our fall athletic seasons werevery successful, highlighted by the LHS football team’s run to the Division 3 Super Bowl at Worcester State College, aswell as their recognition as the winner of the State’s Sportsmanship Award for football. In addition, all other fall sportsteams (boys and girls soccer, field hockey, cross country and golf) qualified for district play. In winter, all teams (track,boys and girls basketball and hockey) also qualified for district play.The Renaissance Rally at Thanksgiving prepared our student body for the annual game vs. St. Bernard’s, as well asrecognizing the 300 students who achieved honor roll status for the first term, as well as the academic all star athletes,
