Congratulations to our Art Students!

This year, in addition to students already in the Portfolio class, there were a total of 11 MVRHS students that attended.  All students spent extra time during the weeks leading up to the event, both after school and the Saturday before, preparing and refining their artwork for presentation. In a crowd of 2800, spread over 3 large ballrooms, they stood in line  with their peers to show their portfolios receiving feedback and criticism Read More / Leia mais

Irish History class remembers shipwreck off Chappaquiddick

On May 28th, during this time of memorializing those who went before us, the Irish History class boarded the tiny Chappy school bus and traveled to the scene where in 1851, 256 Irish people fleeing from the Famine in Ireland were shipwrecked.

We know from the captain's report that five people died on the voyage from Ireland and that a baby was born. Contemporary reports from the rescuers speak of the Irish being packed in steerage in appalling conditions and the diary of Jeremiah Pease tells that "four Irish froze to death." The students read all of the 256 names of the passengers, threw Read More / Leia mais
