Senior Spotlight : Haley Fergusson
An Article by Science Teacher Meghan Petruzzi
Each week, our school will highlight a Sanborn senior with a tradition known as a "Senior Spotlight article". Spotlight articles are written by teachers as a way to tell the stories of all of the great things that our students are engaged in as students at Sanborn Regional High School.
 If you have a queasy stomach you probably shouldn't open messages from Haley. As a student in anatomy class Haley loved seeing how the body worked and how everything connected to everything. Often she was so amazed that she would share her enthusiasm even if it meant sending a picture of a heart dissection. This year she is putting her enthusiasm in English class where she likes to engage in the debate style discussions. Haley is a strong person and is most proud of her work ethic. For example Haley works at a cinema where she saved her pennies to buy a car that she found herself.
Haley's most memorable high school experience was her work with the Sanborn drama troupe hosting the drama festival. Haley has a big heart though we never found any signs of it in anatomy, no EKG or blood pressure detected from Haley. Haley values friendship and works hard to maintain those relationships. She would rather forgive than lose a friend, and she tries to encourage her friends to make good decisions. After high school Haley plans to take a year off to work but after that wants to go back to school. She hopes that taking the time off will allow her to find "the thing I want to spend the rest of my life doing." Don't let Haley's quietness fool you, she is a very strong individual capable of great things.

Mr. Stack Goes to Washington

| The 2017 Principals of the Year Spend the Day Meeting Members of Congress and Lobbying for Public Education. |
Being a school principal in America can be a thankless job, and one that is ever-evolving. What would happen if you brought together some of the best, most influential school principals in our country to talk about how they leverage their strengths and resources to stay focused on transformational leadership in their schools on behalf of their students? I had the opportunity to be part of such a group. As the 2017 New Hampshire award winner, I have been honored to have spent the last few days in Washington, DC with 52 other
State Principal of the Year Award winners at the 2017 Principals Institute, a program sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).
Speaking on behalf of my fellow state principals of the year, I can tell you that we are a very humble bunch. We don't generally like the spotlight to be on us, although we enjoyed the opportunity to spend an evening this week at a spectacular awards ceremony hosted by NASSP where United States Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos took time out of her busy schedule to personally congratulate us on our professional efforts. When asked what we believe led to our selection for our state awards, most of us gave surprisingly simple answers. We listen. We put students first. We are endless cheerleaders for our schools and our school communities. We love what we do. Finally, we truly believe that we are making a positive impact on our communities in ways big and small, each and every day. My award is a tribute to the many educators at
Sanborn Regional High School in Kingston, NH that work with me, laser-focused on redesigning our school to be one that is personalized, student-centered, and competency-based. My family will tell you that 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, I see myself as an endless cheerleader for my school, my students, and of course, my staff. I see my role as a school leader as the person who can make connections and leverage resources for our school community so that our staff can help our students realize their potential. Ask any of my fellow state principals of the year and they will tell you they follow the same philosophy. All of us represent the thousands and thousands of school principals across our country who believe this as well.
On Tuesday September 26, our group got to do what we do best - we took the spotlight off of ourselves and instead focused it on advocacy work for public education. You can follow our efforts as a group on Twitter at
#PrincipalsAdvocate or #POY2017. Over the course of the day, we conducted private meetings with many members of the United States Senate and Congress. Here are the highlights of what we focused our discussions on that day:
- We promoted the importance of support for the Dream Act of 2017 (H.R. 3440/S. 1615). This bill provides a permanent solution and multiple pathways to citizenship for children in our schools who need this opportunity.
- We endorsed the Public Dollars for Public Schools Act, a bill which would support taxpayer dollars for public education by barring individuals from receiving federal charitable tax deductions for contributions to voucher nonprofits that were already reimbursed with a state tuition tax credit.
We strongly believed that as representatives of school principals from coast to coast who live and work, day in and day out on the front lines of education with our teachers, we know what is best for all of our students and the future health and welfare of our country. We weren't afraid to make our voices heard that day on Capitol Hill.
Finally, as a culmination to our experience, NASSP announced the three of us who are finalists for the honor of 2018 National Principal of the Year. The winner will be announced as a surprise ceremony at their school sometime during the month of October, an event to coincide with National Principals Month.
Congratulations to the following 2018 National Principal of the Year finalists:
- Jack Baldermann, Principal of Westmont High School in Westmont, IL, a school that was one of 500 nationwide chosen in 2015 by Newsweek Magazine for "Beating the Odds" because All African American and Latino students have graduated on time, four years in a row, and the number of underrepresented AP Scholars has increased by over 700 percent.
- Dr. Akil Ross, Principal of Chapin High School in Chapin, SC, an instructional leader who led his school to recognition as a South Carolina Palmetto's Finest Award recipient in 2015 for improving the school's graduation rate to 96 percent.
- Tommy Welch, Principal of Meadowcreek High School in Norcross, GA, a school that under Welch's leadership took one of Georgia's largest and lowest performing, yet most diverse, urban schools and raised the graduation rate from 47 to 73 percent.
As the 2017 Principals Institute draws to a close, we will return to our school communities later this week reenergized, refocused, and rededicated to the fundamental reason we each got into education and took positions as principals in the first place: to make a difference for students, each and every day. They inspire us to do what we do. We feed off their energy, their drive, and their enthusiasm. We are, and shall forever be, their cheerleaders and advocates.
