n the last week there have been several major ac- cidents in the North Country. One in Littleton re- sulted in a fatality while one of the others resulted in several people being sent to the hospital, in- cluding two flown to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical ICenter. This latter accident involved alcohol and the driver has been charged. Also, just this past week someone died as a result of an accident several weeks before in Woodstock. All this brings to mind just how short and precious life is and how much we should appreciate those we love and care for and the time we have with them. There is risk in everything of course. There is risk walking down the street but we take our life in our hands every time we get in a motor vehicle. Getting behind the wheel of several thousand pounds of metal and driving it well beyond the speed the human body was meant to travel entails a special kind of risk. The kind of risk that means a split second can change your entire world— and someone else’s as well. This requires constant at- tention and a struggle against routine and complacen- cy. Especially on the narrow winding roads of the North Country a moment’s inattention can change everything.

The White Mountains Regional School District serving the communities of Carroll, Dalton, Jefferson, Lancaster and Whitefield, is seeking a dynamic educational leader with a proven knowledge of curriculum, teaching methods and assessment. Candidates should be astute, creative individuals, open to new ideas, capable of analyzing data and recommending changes. We are currently involved in a review and revision of our curriculum, the development of formative assessments and a district-wide adoption of the Antioch University Critical Skills program. All of our schools recently achieved AYP in all areas. The communities are located in Northern New Hampshire, located above the Notch in the heart of the beautiful White Mountains, and closely bordering the State of Vermont. We have two Grand Hotels located in our district – Mt. Washington Hotel & Resort and the Mountain View Grand. These quiet, rural New England communities value education, offer year-round recreational possibilities, and look to our schools as the center of educational activities. The new assistant principal will be welcomed as an active part of our White Mountains Regional School District community and expected to continue to lead the Whitefield Elementary School toward the goal of high achievement for all students.
