The first math meet of the year was a great success. Not only did we win, but we did so by a significant margin. The meet was hosted at Marblehead High School, and high scorers include Daniel Farfel and Ben Winocour, both of whom are in the Junior Class. At Math Team meets, the teams…
Towards the end of September, news about the climate strike dominated the news. While some students from Marblehead High School attended, many were not able to go. With an issue as broad as the climate crisis, it can be difficult to find ways to incite change, especially if you cannot participate in larger community events….
Freshman year is an important time in any student’s academic career. Students become acclimated to a new school and environment. This typically includes standard “high school things,” such as a change in school policies, harder classes, and structured midterms and finals. Some changes, like a more lenient dress code and rules permitting students to carry…
Long story short, sophomore year is fun. If that’s not enough for you, read on… Every year in high school has its milestone. Freshman year is marked by the first day of school, senior year by the last, and every day of junior year seems to be important. Sophomore year just isn’t like that. It’s…
We made it. Junior year is officially over… almost. Here is what we’ve done so far this year: taken the PSAT, SAT/ACT, and AP tests, asked for teacher recommendations, made resumes, applied to jobs, pulled all-nighters to study for tests (looking at you, physics), procrastinated way too much (and regretted it later), drastically reduced the…

This weekend, singing and dancing meet adultery and murder- prepare to be razzle dazzled by Marblehead High School’s production of Chicago. Students in the MHS theater department have been rehearsing (and rehearsing, and rehearsing) for their spring musical Chicago. This story of crime and injustice opens with Velma Kelly’s (Mari Aoki) rendition of All That…
For those of you with students attending Marblehead High, you may have heard of an upcoming safety measure. Beginning this April, students will be expected to wear their student IDs on their person at all times, on threat of detention or suspension. There will likely be a grace period, but afterwards, students without IDs may…
MCAS. The word triggers flashbacks to yellow #2 pencils, rows of Jolly Ranchers, extremely specific instructions about bubbling in your answers (remember: no stray marks!), and entire days filled with the grueling task of making your school look good. There is not a single student in Massachusetts who doesn’t internally groan whenever someone mentions the…
Mr. Butters, Mr. Colfer, and Mr. Wilkens form an epic Social Studies trifecta #squadgoals. In the English department, co-conspirators Mr. Moloney and Mr. Ryan act as if they both bike to school (in reality they carpool in Mr. Ryan’s gas-guzzling Suburban, a popular vehicle for many Marblehead Moms). Even the Foreign Language teachers communicate through…
