HEADMASTER'S BLOG

By Ellie Hyvonen Sweet memories were made Friday evening with Miss Ellie and the Dignified Girls group! Many thanks to the wonderful Mrs. Rairden for allowing us to use her beautiful home. We enjoyed a great fellowship, cookie decorating, laughter, a Yankee swap, and cozy Christmas movies. Not everything is stressful during portfolio week. In fact, it’s possible to have a whole lot of fun!

By Cheryl Crawford, Administrator On Saturday, December 13, 2025, the Jesse Remington High School campus and Candia Congregational Church came alive with the sights and sounds of Christmas as families, alumni, and community members arrived for the Christmas Gala - Messiah.

Thanks to our Christmas Tree Set-Up Team, this large, beautiful tree—donated by Kit Plummer of Plummer Christmas Tree Farm—is standing tall and ready for the season.

Our Sentinels kicked off the season on Sunday with a CYO league matchup against our long-time rivals, the Sainte Marie Rim Reapers. The game stayed tight through the first half, but the Reapers pulled ahead in the third quarter. In the final minutes of the fourth, the Sentinels battled back to narrow the deficit to just four points, but ultimately couldn’t complete the comeback this time. Come cheer on the team this Sunday, December 14th at 1:30pm when we play the St. Stanisl

We gathered just before Thanksgiving for a delicious lunch with our students, faculty, staff, and many visiting families. Nolan Jeanes shared an engaging update on the Entrepreneurial Education pizza venture, Sentinel Slices,   and reminded us that the next chance to enjoy their incredible pizza will be at the Christmas Gala at the Candia Congregational Church on Saturday, December 13 from 4 pm - 9 pm.  Our guest speaker, Matthew Lourdeau—pastor of Christ Covenant Church in C

On Friday, our students and faculty spent the afternoon skating—and falling and laughing—at the JFK Memorial Coliseum in Manchester, NH.  Afterwards, we gathered at FaithBridge Church in Manchester for a festive Christmas party featuring Chipotle-style bowls, plenty of cookies, and a craft station where students made ornaments for the large Christmas tree (thank you Plummer Christmas Tree Farm!) located at the JRHS Rivendell Pavilion! Two seniors even designed a comical trivi

This year’s Christmas Gala is shaping up to be our best yet! Will you join us in Candia as we celebrate the joy of Christmas together? Our Jesse Remington students have been hard at work preparing an outstanding program—beautiful performances, a festive event atmosphere, delicious food crafted by our Entrepreneurship Program, Sentinel Slices , and so much more! We pray that God’s love shines brightly across every corner of our precious “light on a hill” here in Candia. As a s

By Coach Doug Langlois The 2025 season was a unique chapter for Jesse Remington soccer. After finishing the previous year as league champions, we entered the new season with uncertainty. We had graduated many strong seniors and lost several additional players, leaving us unsure if we would even have enough athletes to field a team. But God is good. He not only provided enough players, but blessed us with a potent starting lineup. Four homeschooled players joined the squad, se

Friday, November 14th, marked the first Dignified Girls gathering of the Jesse Remington girls! We had a lovely time sharing tea, homemade cider and hot chocolate alongside yummy homemade treats! Piper Loveless and Ellie Hyvonen hosted a conversation about anxiety and how this experience is actually a way that we can connect closer with the Lord and learn to regulate our nervous systems!  Thank you to all who came and we are so excited for a Christmas themed party next!

By Benjámin István Lados The Next Move Youth Gathering is a project to tell the Gospel and make a flourishing youth group for the Candia Congressional Church. In order to accomplish that goal, Marah Langlois and I planned a fun afternoon where participants could play board games and sports, worship, and enjoy some snacks. We started with a board game and moved on to playing wiffle ball. After the games, we sang worship songs and shared about what God is doing in our lives. We
