Senior Spotlight : Madison Lovely
An Article by Social Studies Teacher Brian Gray

Madison Lovely is a graduating senior this year at Sanborn Regional High School. She is a three sport athlete and active in the Sanborn sports community. She is also an excellent student, challenging herself with honors classes and even earning college credit in her senior year. Madison may seem quiet and reserved to most, but those that know her understand that her actions speak louder than words and she also has a great sense of humor. She is an excellent classmate who works well with anyone, is compassionate and is driven for success. She is a hard worker who always puts her best foot forward and us here at Sanborn have no doubt that she will be successful after high school. While Teachers see a great student in the classroom, Madison is also a very special athlete here at Sanborn.

Madison lovely has participated in all three athletic seasons for 4 years at Sanborn, competing in Soccer, Basketball and Softball. She is the ultimate teammate and extremely coachable. Her most successful sport here at Sanborn has been basketball and anyone who knows her well, knows how passionate she is about the Basketball Program. She was the starting center of the Girls Junior Varsity Basketball Undefeated 20-0 season her sophomore year and has helped guide the team to two straight Summer League Championships. As a Junior last year, she was a valuable role player for the Varsity team that won their first home playoff game in program history and will be the starting center on the team this season as a Senior. Madison has been crucial to the success of the basketball program because of her dedication. Madison never misses a practice or a game and can always be counted on to give her 100% effort. She is a rebounding machine and an integral part of this year offense. She has also been crucial to the development of the program by volunteering to work with rec players during basketball clinics and has even worked as a ref in the program for younger levels. She also played a tremendous role in helping the First Annual Blue Gray Game this year be able to donate over 500lbs of food to our local food pantry.  Her teammates admire her for the way she carries herself and she is a true role model for how the game should be played. She is always commended by her coaches on her mental toughness and integrity. Madison has aspirations to play at the collegiate level and any program would be lucky to have a player like herself on their roster.

Sanborn Soccer Coach and Business Teacher, Kerrie Alley-Violette had this to say about her:
"Madison Lovely is an exceptional student athlete in our school community.  Madison works hard each day to improve and also motivates her peers to do the same. Madison is a great role model to our younger students and truly leads by example. In the classroom Madison is diligent with her work and goes above and beyond in her work.  On the soccer field Madison is a quiet leader, she works hard to know and understand the game.  Madison also does a great job applying practice skills to her game play providing crucial minutes at the midfield."

Madison Lovely is a pleasure to have in the classroom and on the athletic playing surfaces. She is extremely dedicated and truly embodies Sanborn Pride. Any coach or teacher is lucky to have the chance to have her in the classroom or on the team. Madison hopes to enter the field of business as a career when she completes a 4 year college institution after her time at Sanborn.

Sanborn's Andrew Gelina Takes Home Top Honors in State Auto Competition
An Article By the Union Leader


The following is an excerpt from an article that appeared in the Union Leader on January 14, 2018. The full article can be found by clicking here:

LACONIA  - The best high school automotive students in New Hampshire competed in a skills challenge on Saturday, and when the dust settled, Aaron Wesling and Andrew Gelina took home top honors for the Seacoast School of Technology.

Sponsored by the New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association and Toyota, the 2018 New Hampshire Auto Tech Skills Competition was held at Lakes Region Community College and featured two-person teams from 10 schools throughout the Granite State.

For successfully and accurately diagnosing four problems with a 2015 Toyota Camry, Gelina and Wesling each received $2,000 scholarships to the New Hampshire Community College automotive program of their choice; a trophy; and the opportunity to represent New Hampshire later this year in the National Automotive Technology Contest in New York City.

"This is awesome," said Wesling, who is already working in a diesel-engine repair shop and, who, until Saturday, hadn't planned on going to a post-secondary school for additional training.

But after winning the N.H. skills contest, and receiving the generous scholarship, he said he was "definitely reconsidering" his options.

Gelina, who like Wesling, is a senior at SST, plans to enroll in the diesel/heavy equipment technology program at White Mountains Community College in Berlin.

Along with WMCC, which is allied with Milton-CAT and McDevitt Trucks, three other New Hampshire community colleges have partnerships with manufacturers: Manchester CC, which works with Chrysler, Ford, Subaru and Audi; Nashua CC, Honda; and LRCC, which since 1991 has worked with General Motors.
For the 2017-18 school year, LRCC also began working with Toyota, said instructor Mike Parker. Scott Ellis and Jamie Decato are also instructors at the school. Decato devised the problems that the competitors had to address on Saturday.

First, the students had to determine why their Camrys wouldn't start (the engines had a bad starter relay); then why the engines wouldn't turn over (a bad crank-shaft-positon sensor); why the engine misfired and ran rough (a bad ignition coil); and, finally, they ran into an emissions error caused by a faulty oxygen sensor.

Each team had four hours to diagnose and correct the problems, and, ultimately, only two points separated Seacoast School of Technology from the second-place team of Dylan Lacasse and Silas Magargee of Pinkerton Academy. Just 10 points separated the winners from the third-place team of Maxwell Lambert and Mathew Richard of the Concord Regional Technical Center.

Members of the second- and third-place teams received scholarships of $1,500 and $1,000, respectively, and every competitor got at least a $500 scholarship.

Additionally, every competitor is more or less assured of a job as an automotive technician, said Peter McNamara, the president of the NHADA.

Association members have 400 open positions, he said, split evenly between entry-level and advanced technicians, for whom a starting salary is around $60,000 a year, according to McNamara, while Parker noted that some of his graduates, with several years' experience, were earning upwards of $80,000.

Joe Myers, who is the field manager for Toyota's Technician Training and Education Network and who came up from Plano, Texas, for the competition, said there is an industrywide shortage of automotive technicians.

In October 2017, there were 1,900 openings at the 1,400 Toyota and Lexus dealerships in the U.S., Myers said, explaining that "we have an aging population of technicians."

Another contributor to the scarcity is that many technicians segue into the non-service side of the business.

A third reason for the shortage is that "our dealerships are growing at a tremendous rate," he said. 

Myers said he was "very impressed" with the talent on display at LRCC and that all the students have "very promising careers" ahead of them.
