In 2013-2014, the MVRHS School Council called for a committee of “staff, students, parents, and community members” to “make recommendations for a newly designed 21st century library” by “visiting other high school and town libraries”, and “investigating the latest research recommendations for libraries”. The goal was to “make recommendations to the School Committee at the end of the school year”. (Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School Improvement Plan: 2013-2014 Update) Upon completion of this work, the Committee recommended that a diverse range of learning spaces are a critical need for students and faculty at MVRHS. These formed the foundation of the design for the Global Learning Commons. We partnered with Fielding Nair International, a world-renowned educational design firm. Their design is here:
Aidee Espino: Melodic Boot Camp (2016 MVRHS Senior Project)
Throughout high school, the one thing Aidee regretted the most is not finding her potential when it came to her voice. Singing was something she has always loved to do, and being in the music department is where she is most happy and comfortable. As her senior year drew to an end, she didn’t want to end it feeling unsatisfied with what was left unaccomplished. Our school has amazing talent and even more talent in the teachers, and she wished to use that to her advantage. She worked with Ms. Chandler to find that potential in her voice and learn a classical style of singing. She learned about the anatomy of the throat and the respiratory system. She learned how to translate her music into an IPA style format. When it comes to how to actually sing she says she is “just beginning”, but listen to her voice!
