Advisory Kickoff Day: Wednesday, September 25th

Hull High School's 4th Annual Advisory Kickoff Day

Wednesday, September 25th

On Wednesday, September 25th, Hull High School will hold its fourth annual Advisory Kickoff Day.  The HHS advisory program is in its eighth year of existence.  It is a program, which was created to ensure that each student at Hull High School has at least one adult mentor who they have the opportunity to build a strong relationship with. 

The advisories are formed on our students' first day at HHS and they only dissolve on their final day of classes during their senior year.  Each week throughout the year our advisories meet on Wednesdays. They move through an advisory curriculum, which is based on our schools core values.  The activities vary from week to week, but all focus on the academic and social well being of our students.

For the fourth year in a row we will "kick off" our advisory program with a very special day for our students.  On Advisory Kickoff Day, each grade level has a very specific focus for their day's activities.

Freshmen:  The freshmen class will stay in the school and work with Mr. Devine on a number of team building and leadership activities.  They will get to spend quality time with their advisor and will reflect upon their first weeks at HHS.

Sophomores:  The sophomore class will use the day to give back to a community, which has given so much to them.  The groups were split up among different service projects around town.  These projects will include, The Hull Senior Center, Senior Housing, the Lifesaving Museum, and the Carousel.  The student's will get a chance to work together, get a little dirty, and lend a helping hand within the community.

Juniors:  The junior class will venture into Boston via boat and take official tours of five local colleges and universities.  These schools include Boston University, Northeastern, Emmanuel, Lesley, and UMASS Boston.

Seniors:  The senior class will also venture to Boston on Wednesday, but instead of visiting colleges and universities, they will hit some of Boston's best cultural and historical sights.  These sights will include Fenway Park, The Museum of Science. The Museum of Fine Arts, The State House, and the New England Aquarium.

Students received permission slips for Advisory Kickoff Day last week.  Those slips can be turned into the main office on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday morning.

Hull High School Elections: Meet the Student Body President, Class Officers and Student Council Members

HHS Students Elect Leaders for the 2013-2014 School Year

Senior Class President Marco Caparrotta and Student Body

President John Marcinkewich savor their election day victories.

This past Thursday elections concluded to decide who would lead Hull High School through the 2013-2014 school year.  Over 40 students ran for elected office as either student body president, class officer, or a member of the student council.  The candidates made speeches to their classmates during Wednesday's advisory period, they also campaigned for a week with posters lining the walls of each and every corridor.

In the end, the students made responsible decisions at the ballot box and elected a great group of officers and representatives.  While we always congratulate those who won elected office, we also want to show respect and admiration to all those who ran valiantly and showed the courage to speak in front of their peers and seek elected office.

We are looking forward to the fine work the following student will do in leading their respective classes and our school.
