By Jeff Philbrick Junior and Senior students engaged in a two week deep dive into the United States Constitution, featuring a simulated debate.

This was of particular interest to the students, considering our great state of NH was the deciding st

You may be asking, “What are portfolios?!” A portfolio is a series of work, papers, tests, and presentations, completed by each student as a culmination of the semester’s work. During portfolio season, regular classes pause, giving students dedicated time to prepare for exams and complete their portfolio pieces under the guidance and feedback of their teachers. This process helps students build time-management skills, set priorities, and take ownership of their learning throu

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.
