Graduates will each be given six tickets for the outdoor graduation ceremony on June 11. These tickets will all be located in the same "box" on the football field, to allow each family to social distance from other families. Families who have extenuating circumstances may request additional tickets in a separate "box" by completing this form by Friday, June 4. If demand for these tickets exceeds supply, a lottery will be held to determine which requests can be filled.

What can I say about Kayla? In my Forensics class her junior year, she sat right up front and always engaged in conversation with me. She was always up for a good laugh. I enjoyed Kayla in class because, under her quiet and guarded exterior, there is an extremely capable young woman who will accomplish amazing things, and is a super talented artist. I truly looked forward to seeing her for each Forensics class. Kayla had a great sense of humor and was so matter-of-fact about most things. Mr. Cass agreed with me when he said, “Kayla is a good kid who is always kind and has the kind of smile that makes you want to smile too. :) Kayla is a trooper. I enjoyed having her in Junior English last year and always appreciated her putting in her best effort and saying hi, even when things were tough. Good luck after Sanborn, Kayla!”

Kayla never hesitated to be honest with me when it was positive or negative, she and I were always able to be real with each other. I respect her for that and could always depend on her for honest feedback about lessons, labs, and anything else really! She has relationships with many people here at Sanborn and has always been a pretty happy-go-lucky student. Assistant principal Mr. Krzyzanowski had this to say about Kayla: “Kayla was one of the first students I met when I came to Sanborn; she had a smile on her face and it has never wavered!” Art teacher, Ms. Driscoll said, “Kayla never ceases to mystify me. Her eye for design reflects a duality that is beyond avant-garde and I look forward to seeing what she creates in the future!”

Kayla, you are unique. You are one of a kind and I am so lucky to have had you in my class. People who don’t know you have no idea what they are missing! There is a whole world out there and I cannot wait to see what you do next, where you end up and, most of all, what crazy awesome adventures you have! Keep shining, Kayla!

Kyle Provost has an easy grin, a confident demeanor and an athletic stride. I have been lucky to work with him all 4 years of high school and it has been a pleasure .  Kyle has grown both in ability and attitude, he’s the kind of student who knows that once he gets into something, he will figure it out.

Kyle’s Automotive teacher, Mr. McDonough says that “Kyle Provost knows drum brakes better than anyone else in the building. I have enormous respect for Kyle’s can do attitude and his willingness to take knowledge and apply it to the task at hand.”

Kyle’s friends- and they are legion -describe Kyle as “tall”, “ funny” and “a creator of awesome memes”. A few interesting facts about Kyle: His favorite food is clam chowder; He played football and played it well at Sanborn; he rides a 90cc Yamaha dirt bike-( I had one once, it's a fun bike); his favorite video games are: Escape from Tarkov; Rust and Dirt 5.

Kyle’s mechanical inclinations have him considering Automotive Programs at MCC and NHTI in Concord. He is also interested in CNC programming, which would be a good fit for him also. With Kyle’s talents, personality and attitude, he will make Sanborn proud wherever he goes.

Christina is an amazing, funny and smart young woman! We all have such amazing memories of her. Here are what a few of her teachers had to say:

Dianne McCarthy

“I have truly enjoyed working with Christina over the last four years. She has grown in so many ways as a student, artist, coding guru, overall human, and keeps looking for more ways to learn and expand her skills and connections. I have the utmost confidence that she is going to shine so bright as she leaves Sanborn and continues to learn so much about everything she is interested in!”

Kerry Grella

“Between having her Freshman and Junior year, she matured and blossomed into a beautiful young woman in every way!  Once upon a time, Tina was shy and quiet and often not sure of herself. As the years passed, I see that Tina became more and more comfortable with who she is and what her values are. I recall in Marine Biology, Tina made friends with the fish in my tank and loved petting him. I would turn around during class, and Tina would have her entire arm in the tank, stroking my poor, terrified tetra! I absolutely adore Tina and will miss her so much, but something tells me she will always be in my life!”

Michelle Wheeler

“Christina is an amazing thinker. She draws connections between content and life and can articulate her thinking flawlessly.”

Paige Driscoll

“Christina has been a wholesome addition to my classroom. Her ability to persevere is telling in her ceramics work and her welcoming attitude towards others is an absolute delight!”

Tina-we are all going to miss you so much!! Make sure you come back and visit!!

I have had the opportunity to get to know Jared over this past year and boy am I glad that I did! Jared is one of the most observant, intelligent and funniest students I know. One of my favorite things is witnessing Jared quietly taking in the conversation/room around him and then having everyone laughing out loud at his witty comments and one liners! In class, Jared is known for always having a secret stash of candy, for his impressive vocabulary and for his amazing Garfield and SpongeBob impressions. 

Ms. Woodman shared “It’s been a pleasure working with Jared over the past 4 years. Over this time, I’ve been lucky to be able to witness Jared grow into a more independent and resourceful young person. He also always makes me laugh!”

Mrs. Grenier says “Jared’s love of reading is very simply inspiring. You’ll always find him voraciously reading things that interest him. I believe as a direct result, with this knowledge, he has “schooled” me on more than a few subjects this year. I’ll certainly miss seeing him everyday! Best Wishes Jared! WOOHOO!”

Jared shared that while he is excited to be finishing up high school, he is really going to miss his teachers and going to the library to look at books. I know Jared will be missed as well, and we cannot wait to hear all about what he chooses to do next!

I was lucky enough to have Jade for Forensics her Junior year. Always smiling, Jade was such a breath of fresh air in my class! She was a hard-worker and took her work very seriously. In a Forensic lab setting, she took her time to make sure all her work was accurate and done to the best of her ability. She frequently checked in with me to make sure her observations and analysis were spot on. I could always depend on Jade to crack a smile at my corny jokes in class as well.

Mrs. Healey has known Jade for years and said, “I've known Jade since she was a freshman in Raymond and she's been a spitfire ever since then. By chance we both ended up at Sanborn and I was able to continue working with her through her Sophomore year. Jade is funny, smart, engaging, and likeable. Jade has always been well-liked by her peers and teachers alike. I am excited to see where her path takes her and will miss her dearly.”

Mr. Krzyzanowski said, “It will sound cliche, but Jade has shown more growth as a person than anyone I have come across so far at Sanborn and I am very proud of her.” Mr. Enright shared his sentiments when he said, “I have known Jade since sophomore year and have watched her grow into a much more confident student focused on improving herself. I wish her well in her future pursuits!”

Jade, you are amazing. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something...instead, face challenges head on and show the world just what an incredible human being you are. You WILL do great things and we all can’t wait to see!

Joey started the year with a preconceived notion that English class would be tortuous. When students came back to school for in-person learning, Joey was the student in the back who made minimal eye contact, kept his head down, and said he was all set when I asked if he needed any help. Over the course of the year, I have watched Joey change into a completely different type of English student. Now, he comes into class with great enthusiasm, though occasionally late, participates in small groups and class discussions, and asks great questions. He comes to class ready to learn and do what it takes to graduate. Watching this transformation has been one of the highlights of my school year. He has shown that he is such a friendly and charismatic person. He even says a big hello every time I run into him at Hannaford in Raymond!

Joey is a great addition to the classroom and it’s clear these characteristics carry over to other classes as well. Mr. Kelly had this to say: “Joey Studley has motor oil in his veins and I mean that in the most positive way. He is always under the hood of his Mazda or helping to fix one of his friends' cars. I was close to Joey's sister and she always warned me, ‘Wait until you meet my brother.’ But it has been a lot of fun over the 4 years I have known him. The skills and work ethic Joey has demonstrated at Sanborn will serve him well in the future and I am glad to have worked with him.”

Mrs. Mulvey (Richardson) was happy to share that, “Joey Studley is the best kind of tinkerer - he fears no failure, in fact, he would probably laugh at how ‘epic’ his failure could be at something. He truly understands the part of life where if you never try, you never know. This was in full effect sophomore year when Joey purchased and fixed up a car (a 2001 Honda Accord with a 2.3L 4-Cyl VTEC engine) as his student interest project (SIP). He then enrolled in Auto Tech at SST and has been covered in engine grease ever since! I will miss him stopping by to say ‘hi’ and telling me all about his misadventures.”

Joey has enjoyed pursuing his interests at Sanborn, mainly shop-based: automotive, welding, woodworking. After graduation, as you probably have guessed, Joey wants to work in the automotive industry. He’s committed to spending 1.5-2 years of additional schooling to gain the experience and training necessary to succeed in this industry.

It’s been great getting to know Joey this year! It’s clear that he has so many tools to help him succeed in the future! Best of luck, Joey!

I met Bella at the end of the summer before her freshman year. She leaped onto the soccer field for tryouts with great enthusiasm. It was a pleasure to be her coach on the JV Girls Soccer team. She showed up to every practice and poured her heart into every game. I was later fortunate enough to have her as a student her junior year. Though I didn’t know her from an academic standpoint during her first two years at Sanborn, it was clear that she had made great progress by the time she arrived at my Junior English class. She is a studious young woman who asks for guidance and feedback so she can demonstrate her best work. This year, as a senior, Bella exhibits great maturity. She has goals she’d like to achieve post-high school and she’s working hard to get herself there.

During her time at Sanborn, Bella has made a lasting impression on her peers and teachers. Social Studies teacher, Michelle Wheeler, had this to say of Bella: “Most likely found in the hall, but when she's ready for learning, she's a worker. Bella looks for and applies feedback in order to move her learning in the right direction. I'll miss the pop-in hellos from her and the rest of her crew! Deezsh!”

Currently, Bella works at an assisted living facility. She plans to continue her work there while attending Northern Essex Community College in the fall. Though she’s going in undeclared, Bella says she has an interest in science, specifically chemistry.

I have enjoyed getting to know Bella over the past several years and I wish her the best of luck! Congratulations, Bella!

Nick Lucas is graduating from Sanborn this spring and has certainly made the most of his high school experience. It almost seems that there was not a club or activity that he was not a part of. Nick exemplifies what we look for in a model student; his ability to not only juggle, but to excel in clubs, athletics, and academics is something that I have always admired about him.

 I have had the pleasure of knowing Nick for all four years of his time here at Sanborn. His freshman year, he was a part of a wellness class that I taught, where he excelled in both, the academic and fitness portion of class. I also was very fortunate to coach Nick as part of the football team. In football, Nick is a true “team guy” his selflessness and leadership earned him a role as a Varsity captain, but his athletic ability and willingness to learn, made him a star on the football field. After battling some injuries, during both, his junior and senior year, Nick did not sit back and watch; Nick took on another leadership role and coached some of our less experienced players during practice time. Nick’s sportsmanship on and off of the field earned him the “New Hampshire Football Official’s Association Scholarship” for the 2020 season, which was only given to two people in all of division 2 football.

 Nick, in the school community has been extremely active throughout his four years at Sanborn, along with a very challenging workload of Honors and College level classes, Nick is also a member of the National Honor Society, and a 3- season athlete including Football, Indoor Track and Outdoor Track and Field.

 It was very easy to find teachers to speak on Nick’s behalf, Coach and Spanish teacher Colin McQueen says that “Nick is and always has been a top notch character in the classroom, on the field, and in all aspects of life. He should be very proud of how he's represented Sanborn throughout his time here. Best of luck Nick!”

Shop teacher Jack Kelly not only enjoyed having Nick in class, but is also looking forward to another “Lucas” joining his class, saying “Nick Lucas exudes quiet competence. Strong in math and science, mechanically inclined, responsible, dependable and athletic, I have enjoyed working with Nick in several classes. I will miss Nick next year, but don't worry, I am recruiting his sister for a woodshop class!”

With all of Nick’s accolades and all that he has accomplished while here at Sanborn, we are all, most proud of the young man he has become. We wish you luck as you plan to major in engineering at the University of New Hampshire.

I’m pretty sure Bailey Verb could still walk through the invisible maze from Sophomore Advisory days. Bailey loves an intellectual challenge, especially if it is mixed with a physical challenge. My first memory of Bailey is from when he was a freshman, tagging along to open house visits with his family for his older brother. Bailey was a very busy freshman: asking all of the questions and reading all of my posters and inspecting my classroom wildlife skull collection. When I had him in Biology class sophomore year, his questions never stopped!! And then he decided to learn how to read peoples’ expressions for his Student Interest Project (SIP) because “why not?”

Bailey shares that what he can take away from his years at Sanborn are that there are a lot of different kinds of people and you can’t always tell at face value where they fit in. He recalls his many mistakes in woodshop and watching others fumble in there as well. “It was fun.” He learned all of the microexpressions for his SIP and still uses them. He prides his ability to tell if someone is lying by looking at their face.

Mr. Cass shares: “Привет, or should I say hello, Bailey. If you don't know Bailey, he is quite the polyglot (that's actually English, meaning somebody who speaks a lot of languages). I have appreciated having him in advisory the last few years because he always has a random fact to share. Go ahead, just ask him how many pounds of bacteria are in your body right now. Go ahead, ask.” I did, he told me...

I am so proud of Bailey for the young man he has grown into, having known him for the last three years. Bailey’s long term plans include attending medical school, with an end goal of being a surgeon or a nurse. Short term, he will be attending Keene State to focus on getting his required courses under his belt before focusing on psychology, chemistry, and nursing. Study hard and learn a lot! Congratulations, Bailey!

I had the pleasure of teaching Katie Turner in my Honors American History class during her junior year. Throughout the year she proved that the honors label fit. Her performance on all assignments was exemplary. She really developed a solid understanding of American history. Her kindness and respectfulness was clearly noticed. Katie in a genuine, great person that I loved working with. Unfortunately, our year was interrupted by COVID. Yet, as our class continued remotely, her positivity did not waiver. She continued to participate and produce great work despite the challenges of the time. It was very impressive to see her role with the punches dealt her way. It speaks to her character that she will prevail over any rough patch that comes her way.

English teacher Nicole St. Jean says that, “Katie is a delight to have in Senior English this year! She is so friendly and is always striving to do her best. In particular, this year, she did really well during our Short Story Analysis unit. She found a story she liked, The Sniper, and worked tirelessly to analyze how its elements impacted the overall theme. She is an exceptional student and I’ve enjoyed getter to know her!”

I have confidence Katie will succeed beyond her years at Sanborn. She’s smart and a hard worker. These traits will take her to wherever she wants to go in life. Congratulations Katie on wrapping up your high school chapter. I look forward to seeing you write your future chapters. I hope you keep in touch with the teachers you had here. We love seeing our kids do well. I wish you the best of luck.

James Bush is an easy-going senior who has a core group of really solid friends and a desire to earn his way through the workforce through grit and determination when he graduates from Sanborn. James plans on continuing with hands-on trades when he completes high school and also wants to experiment with online trading and stocks as he becomes more knowledgeable. Currently, James is working with a fencing installation company where he enjoys the outdoors while making a good wage. He believes that his interests are still in the process of being developed, and he is exploring some of those avenues currently at Hampton Trade School where he is completing an ELO through classes in plumbing and electrical.

James has been a 4 year athlete at Sanborn in basketball and participates in the sport year round at the YMCA in Plaistow. He also was involved in soccer his junior year. For fun, James likes to hang out with friends, who he will miss when he graduates and many go off to college or into their own workforce path. James has fond memories of his favorite teachers; McQueen, both Wheelers, Hurley, Healey, and St. Jean. Here are what some of them had to say:

Colin McQueen “James is a great kid. I've been fortunate enough to know him for many years since his time playing for me on the middle school basketball team. He has always remained the same through the years: He's a humble, friendly, and easy going guy who I've always enjoyed talking to, but on the court he can flip the switch and turn into an absolute beast who can completely take over the game. I think James always has that capability when he is engaged in something he's passionate about. Best of luck in the future Mr. Bush!”

Heather Wheeler- “It has been a pleasure getting to know James. He is polite and kind and always willing to give his best effort. His excellent sense of humor and strong work ethic will serve him well.”

Michelle Wheeler- “James was fairly quiet and well mannered in class- even when the class could be quite rambunctious! He knew when to chime in or crack a smile. James was timely and conscientious with his work.”

Nicole St. Jean- “I enjoyed having James in my Junior English class last year. He was always so friendly and polite and he told some of the best stories. I love that he still always says hi to me in the hallway! I wish him the best of luck in the future!”

James, we will all sincerely miss you and wish you the very best in your future endeavors.

The “Gift to the Class of 2021” recognizes the disruption the pandemic has had on educational

aspirations and aims to get students back on track

CONCORD, NH (May 12, 2021) – As New Hampshire’s high school Class of 2021 prepares for

graduation, two philanthropic foundations are offering every member of that class an early

graduation gift: a free class at any of New Hampshire’s seven community colleges in the fall.

The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and The Foundation for New Hampshire Community

Colleges are partnering to give New Hampshire students a head start on their college careers.

This commitment includes more than $1 million from the two Foundations along with

additional support, advising and other services from the community colleges to help students

on educational pathways across the state.

“New Hampshire’s graduating seniors should be incredibly proud, and you should know that

New Hampshire is proud of you,” said Richard Ober, president and CEO of the New Hampshire

Charitable Foundation. “You have persevered to finish your high school careers under

extraordinarily challenging circumstances. We hope that this gift, made possible by hundreds of

generous New Hampshire people who are rooting for you, will help you take the next step

toward your dreams.”

“Today’s announcement is a big step to help NH high school students get a foot in the door and

discover new and exciting carrier pathways,” said Governor Chris Sununu. “The work that has

been undertaken by both Community College System and the NH Charitable Foundation will

open doors and provide a unique opportunity to NH high school seniors.”

Dear Parents & Guardians,

The following plans have been developed in collaboration with students, staff, and administrators based on currently-available state health and safety guidelines.
