Congratulations to the cast and crew of our spring musical, Mamma Mia!, for their incredible work and unforgettable performances this past weekend! After selling out the Mosesian Center, they wowed audiences with their outstanding talent and stunning sets. Special thank you to our staff Ms. Wilson, Mr. Wulf, and Mr. Poillucci for leading our students in this huge success.

A special shoutout goes to the incredible collaboration behind the scenes - students from the fine, applied, and performing arts, construction technology, and pre-engineering programs worked together to bring the set to life. Inspired by a stone mosaic in a church in Thimiana, Greece, the team created a painted mosaic design that became a centerpiece of the stage. The design was developed using computer-aided design (CAD) software, then converted into a format for a laser cutter to produce a three-part template representing 20 degrees of a full circle. Using this template, the tech crew carefully mapped out and painted a stunning 134-inch-diameter mosaic floor, showcasing both creativity and precision craftsmanship.

Together, their dedication, creativity, and collaboration made this production a truly memorable and impressive success.

On Saturday, March 14, the WHS Jazz Band hit the stage at the MAJE (Massachusetts Association for Jazz Education) State Finals, performing as one of just eight bands in the Division II category! Making it even more exciting, this marks the first time in recent history the band earned an invitation. Huge congratulations to all the talented musicians who made it happen, and a special thank you to Mr. Max Thew for his incredible dedication, hard work, and for making this opportunity possible for our students!

The Model UN team took on 45 schools and over 700 students at the EagleMUNC conference in Boston and delivered an incredible performance! As always, the team rose to the challenge and made us proud. A special shoutout to Graham Lawson, who earned the Top Position Paper/Book Award for his committee!

Our first Health and Wellness Fair, hosted by Mr. DiSciscio, Ms. Edwards, Ms. Malone, Chef Marston, Mr. Riley, Mr. Trant, Mrs. Burke, and Ms. Medina-Baez, had great success! Over 600 students visited the fair throughout the day, visiting displays from content areas across our school and community, plus a special visit from the New England Revolution!

On Saturday, four students - Caitlin Devlin, Shane Devlin, Noa Takahashi, and Nico Verma - represented WHS in the first annual Harvard College High School Ethics Bowl. In this all-day competition, teams tackled ethical dilemmas and moral issues using philosophical reasoning, in addition to attending panels, guest lectures, and interactive workshops with Harvard students and professors.

Caitlin, Shane, Noa, and Nico articulated nuanced arguments relating to six different cases, including vigilante justice, mandatory reporting, and closed adoption, winning praise from the judges for the sophistication and thoughtfulness of their responses.

Congratulations to our baseball head coach, Mr. Manoukian, who achieved his 100th win on Saturday against Fitchburg High School! We are so lucky to have such an outstanding coach for our student-athletes.
