Student Advisory Council

The Everett School Committee formally invited the Student Advisory Council (SAC) to its Regular Meeting on Monday, September 16, 2024. The SAC members are Everett High School (EHS) students Tre’von Carrington, Milena Antonio, Kaylee Rodriguez, Kristin Caliz Guzman and Kelly St. Fort (who also serves as the Student Representative to the School Committee).

The SAC members work together to compile a report that the Student Representative delivers to the School Committee during its twice-monthly Regular Meetings. This year, each SAC member will also be assigned to a K-8 school to provide updates about School Committee matters, gather feedback and discover what issues are most important to elementary school students.

Above, the SAC members are pictured with faculty advisor Carolynn MacWilliam, Superintendent William Hart and School Committee members Marcony Barros, Joseph LaMonica, Margaret Cornelio, Vice Chairperson Samantha Hurley, Robin Babcock, Joseph D’Onofrio, Chairperson Jeanne Cristiano, Kristin Bairos and Joanna Garren.

EHS Teachers Recognized by CSTA

Two EHS computer science teachers have received national recognition for their commitment to promoting equity in the classroom. Neil Plotnick (above) has been selected to participate in the 2024–25 Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) Equity Fellowship, while Corey Cheever (inset) has been named to the 2024 cohort of the Amazon Future Engineer (AFE) Teacher Ambassador program.

“Congratulations to these outstanding faculty members for earning these prestigious honors,” said Superintendent William Hart. “These are tremendous opportunities that will benefit their students and STEM education at Everett High.”

The CSTA Equity Fellowship is a year-long program that fosters leadership development and identifies opportunities for the group to develop ongoing, peer-to-peer professional learning focused on addressing issues of equity in computer science classrooms. As an AFE Ambassador, Cheever will join a select group of 50 educators from around the nation in a two-year program that includes community listening sessions, elevates the voices of computer science teachers and drives greater computer science and technology access for students.

Reminder: Homecoming Game Set for Friday, October 4

Superintendent William Hart and Principal Dennis Lynch want to remind everyone that EHS will host its annual Homecoming Game on Friday, October 4, 2024, when the Crimson Tide welcome the Taunton Tigers to Veterans Memorial Stadium for a 7 p.m. kickoff. At halftime, EHS will honor the Crimson Tide’s unforgettable 2001, 2002 and 2003 teams, which compiled a 34-1 record en route to winning three consecutive Division 1 Super Bowl championships.

If you were a member of any of the 2001-03 teams, we encourage you to participate in the

celebration by contacting EHS Assistant Athletic Director Steve Gallagher.

It’s More Than a Game
