What an amazing day! We started the day by hearing from the 2011 National Teacher of the Year who spoke about making connections with students and taking advantage of every opportunity to make what we teach relevant to our students. From there we went to the 2012 Nation Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence Awards Luncheon. We were joined by Superintendent of Schools Kathleen Tyrell, as well as three members of the Hull School Committee - David Twombly, Marianne Harte and Stephanie Peters. After a question and answer session with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and a great lunch, it was time to start handing out the awards. I can't tell you how great it was to stand with HHS teacher Sheila Blair and National Blue Ribbons School Director Aba Kumi and hold Hull High School's Blue Ribbon plaque.
Shelia and I will be back tomorrow (in time for parent conferences!) and are planning an official flag raising next week. Everyone in the Hull High School community - students, teachers, staff members, administrators, parents and supporters should be so proud tonight. HHS is one of the best high schools in the country and we now have the plaque and flag to prove it!
Have a great night!
