Vineyarder of the Week

Each week we will introduce a student or staff member to our entire school community!

This​ ​Week:​ ​Shauna Nute, guidance counselor for 10th, 11th and 12th graders.

How​ ​long​ ​have​ ​you​ ​worked​ ​in​ ​the​ ​school?

I have been a guidance counselor here for 24 years. I have been at MVRHS for 39 years! Before starting my career at MVRHS, I worked at the Tisbury School for a year. I have also worked as a school librarian and as a special education teacher. I graduated from MVRHS!

What​ ​sports​ ​did​ ​you​ ​play?

I played basketball for four years and softball for two years.

What​ ​was​ ​a​ ​popular​ ​song​ ​when​ ​you​ ​started​ ​working​ ​at​ ​MVRHS?

American Pie.

What​ ​were​ ​the​ ​extracurricular​ ​activities​ ​you​ ​were​ ​involved​ ​with​ ​while​ ​at​ ​MVRHS?

I was part of the Minnesingers and jazz band.

Did​ ​we​ ​have​ ​the​ ​same​ ​sports​ ​teams​ ​that​ ​we​ ​currently​ ​have​ ​back​ ​when​ ​you​ ​were​ ​a​ ​student?

We didn’t have lacrosse and girls’ soccer. We had track and field, field hockey, girls and boys basketball teams, football, boys soccer, and baseball.

Do​ ​you​ ​still​ ​keep​ ​in​ ​touch​ ​with​ ​your​ ​friends?

I get to work with three of the people that I went to school with: Mary McDonald, head of guidance, who was a year behind me; Bonnie Tilton, guidance director secretary, who was two years behind me; and Cindy Grant, administrative support personnel, who was three years behind me.

What​ ​is​ ​your​ ​favorite​ ​thing​ ​about​ ​working​ ​in​ ​the​ ​high​ ​school?

All the people that I have met of all ages and backgrounds. That’s why I do what I do!
