Principal's Message:

2.22.10 Wethersfield High School Principal’s Blog

Congratulations to the Junior Engineers Technical Society (JETS) for their award-winning design and creation called the “Walken.” The “Walken” is a motorized walker which allows people with ambulatory issues the ability to use the device to walk up and down stairs with a high degree of stability. This is the 2nd year in a row that the JETS organization has won a trip to the National Finals in Washington, DC to compete for a national design championship. The group, advised by Mrs. Susan Fennelly and accompanied by Assistant Principal, Mrs. Jill Krieger, will be in Washington, DC on February 24-26, 2010. We wish the club the best of luck in their competition.

Recently, Wethersfield High School has been approached with an invitation to be a sister school with a high school in Heze, China. Heze is in the Shandong Province and two Chinese educators recently visited the Wethersfield Public Schools as a guest of the Highcrest Elementary School. The two educators had an opportunity to visit Wethersfield High School and were very impressed by the students, the faculty, the curriculum and the organization of our school. A small subcommittee consisting of Thomas Moore, WHS, Principal, Andrew Komar, WHS Assistant Principal and Thomas McKenna, WHS Science Department Leader will continue to explore the possibilities of a sister school relationship and what resources might be gained for Wethersfield High School.

Congratulations to Senior Tyler Murphy who has signed a letter of intent to play Quarterback for the University of Florida. WHS hosted a press conference for Tyler on February 3rd. The University of Florida is a nationally recognized football powerhouse who has recently won two national championships. Tyler is a part of a recruiting class that has been ranked as the number one recruiting class in the country by ESPN. This is a remarkable circumstance and we all join in our pride for Tyler’s accomplishments.

At this posting our Girls basketball team, led by Fordham-bound senior Abigail Corning, has a tremendous record of 20-1. The team will be playing in the CIAC state championship tournament beginning next week. In the meantime the girls defeated a very good Farmington HS team in the quarterfinals of the CCC tournament and will now play E.O. Smith. Good luck in both tournaments to our girls.

I am very proud to announce that our first phase of Haiti relief raised over $3500 for the victims of that tragic earthquake. This effort was accomplished in less than a week and was led by Mr. John Sand. The money was donated to AmeriCares Disaster Relief and Humanitarian Aid Organization. The second phase of the relief effort is spearheaded by Mrs. Maria Sanhueza and the WHS student council. This phase is collecting tangible resources to be used in Haiti. The Boys Hockey team collected items and we are working with Wethersfield-based organizations to get all the goods delivered.

New Athletic Eligibility requirements for Wethersfield High School student-athletes will be in effect for the second quarter of the 2010-2011 school year. The updated requirement s will require that students have no more than one failure on their report card in order to be eligible for athletics. The minimum CIAC rule of passing at least four subjects that meet each day also continues to be in effect. Additionally, students who are Captains of their sport are required to maintain a “C” average. Thank you to Athletic Director Jay Cottone for his leadership in this area.

A number of Wethersfield High School students have had their art work recognized through the Wethersfield Chamber of Commerce/Wethersfield Public Schools Youth Art Appreciation program. Congratulations to Sydney Morris, Taylor Henault, Matthew DePaolis, Rachel Bobadilla and Andrew Aronne who have their works of art on public display throughout the community.
