Scituate High School earned its Project ADAM Heart Safe School status this past week!! Project ADAM helps schools establish a plan to respond to sudden cardiac arrest. Maggie Colllins helped establish the plan and run practice drills as part of her senior project. Members of administration, teachers and town EMS participated in the final drill. We are one a few schools in Rhode Island to earn this status and we are prepared if we need to call the team together in a real emergency!

Congratulations to Simona Mancini for winning the state-level NAWIC architectural competition! She was tasked to design a seven-story combination gymnastics training center, mall, apartment building, and parking garage. She added many flourishes, some subtle, like fireproof insulation, and others more bombastic, such as a rooftop garden and common courtyard. Her submission now gets forwarded for consideration on the New England regional level, and we are wishing her good luck!
