Program Highlights

Kiwanian Kara Kosmes pinch hit for Raleigh Buchanan and presented two speakers from Haverhill High School.

Debbie Sasso Flanagan addressed us on a new old concept of a Classical Academy at Haverhill High. Haverhill has two Latin teachers and 3 levels of Classical Greek studies. Haverhill is only 1 of 2 schools in the state teaching Latin and Classical Greek. The Classical Academy is the result of a plan based on Classical education. This is an entrance exam school within Haverhill High. The classes cover arts and sciences and all disciplines.

Latin is the basis of the English language, and is the focus of the Classical academy. Et tu, Brutus?

Bernie Nangle, HHS principal, addressed us on the textbook purchase project. $28,000 has been raised to date. Books are expensive. The School Department has a $450,000.00 commitment for textbooks. There are old, outdated textbooks that need to be replaced.

Educational needs and technology require that schools keep up and ahead of the new developments in education.
