Students in Mrs. Stormont's AP Literature class used paint chips to explore new vocabulary and connotation as part of literary analysis. They ended class by choosing the color that best represented themselves.
Join us in the stands tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct 1st, for our first SHS Unified VB game at 3:30 PM at SHS!
Advanced Ceramics students started the school year off strong by designing and sculpting their own needle tools that they will utilize throughout the course!
Needle tools are one of the most important ceramic tools that can be implemented in projects, and students were very excited to be making their own custom tools!
Currently, students are using their studio time to work on their advanced pinch method assignment. Using this pinch building method, they are turning their two pinch method vessels into a pumpkin that can be functional or decorative.

This year was our 5th annual Homecoming Dance at Hope Pond! Our students showed up looking their best, and there were smiles all around. Thank you to all of our volunteers who worked hard to make this dance a special night for our students.
Thank you to our amazing volunteers who helped with the teacher dunk tank fundraiser for prom last weekend! We were able to raise a total of $300! We also want to give a huge thank you and shout out to our teacher volunteers, Tomas Soucar, Ashley Fochler, Matthew Murphy, Timothy Brown, Mark Reed, and Jena Remka.
In Principles of Engineering, students continued the study of simple machines and how they can be used to produce mechanical advantage!
To provide a visualization and application of all this theory, they hung a bicycle from the ceiling. A bicycle is a great visual representation of two "wheel-and-axle" simple machines whose effects compound: the crankset on the front, and the cassette and tire on the back.
In the activity, students took measurements of the tire, the crank, and every sprocket on the bike, then did the calculations to determine how much mechanical advantage one gets with each gear change. In the pictures below, we see Richard Bond and Stephen Cronan getting measurements of the back wheel, and Bryce Guilmain measuring the bike's crank.

Last week, students in Civil Engineering and Architecture finished up their training on surveying. They talked through the applications, did a paper-based simulation, and took measurements from within the building.
In the end, this culminated with students using a technique known as "differential leveling" to find out the altitude of the classroom from a known point located on the other side of the building.
Here, you can see Joey Jacavone, Alicia Bergeron, Emmett DeMeis, Alivia Goss, Gabby DeFusco, and Zeke Bowden all doing their part to set up the tripod, level the scope, take the reading, and do the math!

Congratulations to our Spartan Football Team for their Homecoming victory! Scituate hosted EWG, and our Spartans lit up the field with big plays:
Sophomore Aiden Grover opened the scoring with a powerful QB run.
Senior Drake Dumont bulldozed his way in for a rushing touchdown.
Junior John Rubiano capped off the trifecta with a clutch receiving touchdown.
Caiden Reikhrud stayed perfect on the night, kicking 3-for-3 extra points!
And let’s not forget — without the line, these kids can’t shine. Huge kudos to the linemen who battled every snap to make it all possible.
An incredible team effort and a night to remember under the lights.
Next up: Spartans travel to Tiverton this Friday – let’s bring the energy!

Our Spartans hosted Coventry for the big Homecoming game, and it was a battle from start to finish. Both teams fought hard across the field, but it was the goalkeepers who stole the show.
With incredible saves on both ends, neither side was willing to let the ball past the net. After 80 minutes of grit, hustle, and determination, the game ended in a hard-fought 0–0 tie.
We are proud of our Spartans for their resilience and teamwork on this special night under the lights!

In Introduction to Engineering Design, students began learning how to use computer-aided design (CAD). They built on last week's hand sketching exercises by making digital sketches, which can in turn be used to make solid models on the computer.
Students in Advanced Photoshop are reviewing the Photoshop tools by creating their own custom trading cards that depict subjects that are important to their self identity. In addition, students are creating two trading cards by researching and writing a synopsis of famous artists of their choice. Next, we will print the trading cards, and share them with the class!
To wrap up our homecoming spirit week, our students and staff celebrated with some friendly competition at our pep rally! The energy and the Spartan Pride were at an all time high, and our students are ready to continue the celebration during this weekend's homecoming events. Go Spartans!
Students in Ceramics I are learning the basics of ceramic building, understanding clay bodies, the science of firing ceramic works, and have learned modeling and carving techniques that they have applied to a ceramic slab. Next, they will be learning about functional ceramics by creating a pinch pot vessel with their choice of creative direction and design!
On Thursday, September 11th, all students in grades 11 and 12 attended our annual College Fair at the high school. We were excited to welcome more than 40 colleges and universities to Scituate this year! Shout out to our school counseling team and Mrs. Erickson for putting this all together! And thanks to our PE department for setting up the tables!
