Fitchburg High’s First Honors Academy Grads Shared Drive, Support
“3.9 GPA. 1,280 SAT. 26 ACT. Those are the average scores earned by students who graduated from Fitchburg High School’s first Honors Academy class on Wednesday.
Each of those figures notches well above marks hit by most students in Massachusetts, a state already known for high-achieving students and tip-top test scores.
In other words, the average Honors Academy student is anything but.”
Red Raiders Secure Sole-Possession of Second Place in Mid-Wach C
Fitchburg senior centerfielder Noah Less made a Willie Mays-like “Catch For The Ages” Thursday afternoon as he ran a mile to track down Jim Concannon’s bases-loaded fly ball near to the deepest part of the ballpark, hauling it in for the last out to preserve a 3-2 Red Raider victory over host Oakmont Regional in miserable conditions at Driscoll Park.
FHS playwright to see her work on stage
‘A Bump in the Night’ packs ‘crazy’ fun Friday night
“Some things have changed since Megan Ptak, then a seventh-grader, co-wrote the first
draft “A Bump in the Night,” the upcoming Fitchburg High School production.
Other things haven’t changed at all.
‘It wasn’t really very serious at all,’ she said, recalling the play she cowrote for an afterschool program at McKay Arts Academy with then-eighth grader Skyler Robinson.
‘It’s still not really serious. … It’s pretty goofy just like we are.’
Ptak, now a high school senior, will see the play she started almost five years ago premier 6 p.m. Friday at Fitchburg High School. Tickets are not required and admission is free.”
Math League Competition 2017
Once Down and Out, Fitchburg Baseball Team has Bounced Back
“There’s nothing quite like a feel-good story.
Especially about an underdog team doing big things.
There’s no greater story this spring than the Fitchburg High baseball program.”
Picture Perfect Response Saves a Life in Fitchburg
“Kudos to Scott LaPrade, a longtime freelance photographer for the Sentinel & Enterprise, who put his instincts and skills from his full-time job as a Leominster firefighter to good use while on assignment for us Thursday.
LaPrade was at Crocker Field photographing the 103rd running of the Fitchburg Relays, in which students from elementary grades to high school compete, when he heard somebody shout, “He’s choking!”
As quick as a shutter click, LaPrade responded, located the distressed boy and performed the Heimlich maneuver.”
“13 Reasons Why” Raises Concerns About Youth Suicide
“In Fitchburg, district nursing director Pamela Rivers said the city’s public schools have rolled out curriculum like Lifelines – a suicide prevention program – in response to the show to combat some of the mixed messages it could be conveying to younger viewers. Even if there’s some good in the fact that the viral emergence of the show has at least generated some broader discussions about mental health and self-harm, she said, ‘it portrays (those themes) in a very non-supportive way.’
‘That’s exactly why we wanted to have these education programs out there,’ Ms. Rivers said, “to separate what’s appropriate and what’s inappropriate, perception versus reality.”
Juniors Earn Clean Sweep of Seniors at Class Relays
Sometimes, it is indeed how you start that matters.
The Fitchburg High junior Class of 2018 posted an amazing sweep of the soon-to-be graduating Class of 2017, as the junior boys led from start to finish in the main event of the 103rd edition of the Junior-Senior Relays at historic Crocker Field Thursday evening.
