A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by the principal to these scholastically talented seniors. About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the competition for Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2015 Merit Program by taking the 2013 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. A spokesperson for National Merit Scholarship Corporation commented, “The young men and women named Com- mended Students have demonstrated outstanding academic potential by their performance in the very competitive Merit Program. In a nation that values excellence, it is important to publicly recognize the attainments of scholas- tically talented young people and the schools that nurture their development. We hope this recognition will help broaden the educational opportunities of Commended Students and serve as encouragement to all students to devel- op their abilities to the fullest.” 2 Bow High School Principal’s Report - October, 2014 This month’s Principal’s Report includes reports from four separate areas of Bow High School: School Counseling, Athletics, Learning Commons, and School to Career.

  • Evolution of Hockey in CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE
    The Evolution of Hockey in CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE Editors Note: The historical information may be incomplete. Readers, who have additional facts of Concord or White Park hockey history, please contact: Jim Hayes – NH Legends of Hockey @ 603-731-4168 or [email protected]. ce hockey in Concord was well documented at St. Paul’s School. The boarding school opened in 1856 I on 2,000 acres of beautiful woodlands and ponds. In the 1870’s the game of ice hockey or “shinny” was first introduced on the lower school pond and from the beginning, it was more than a sport at St. Paul's it – was a way of life. Here in the place blessed with boys, ponds, and long winters, it was natural that the three would come together in celebration. The love of the fabled "black ice" was universal, and the boys, the masters, and their families looked forward to its early arrival. In those early days, the boys would cut their own sticks in the woods and played with a wooden block or ball. But in J.P. Conover (a master at SPS) traveled to Montreal and brought back a few hockey sticks which resembled field hockey sticks but with a longer shaft. He also brought with him an octagon block covered with leather, the forerunner of the modern puck. Acknowledged as the “cradle of American hockey," St. Paul's School and ice hockey have been synonymous since the afternoon of November 17, 1883, when the School community gathered on the Lower School Pond to witness the first game ever played in the United States.

  • Succeeding for 40 Years the Educational Opportunity Program Celebrates a Milestone Letter from the President of Central Connecticut State University
    Spring 2009 Succeeding for 40 Years The Educational Opportunity Program Celebrates a Milestone Letter from the President of Central Connecticut State University We all know that bad news has a greater impact than good news, and these days we do not lack for bad financial news. So I think it is important to be reminded of the good news about our University. We recently concluded two important assessments of the climate of our comm unity here, and the results are encouraging. They clearly indicate that the work fac­ ulty, staff, and administration have been doing over the past few years has made a real and significant difference in the quality of life for our students and for our campus community. Student Satisfaction Survey Satisfaction was higher in 2008 than in 2006 on 45 out of 55 survey items. Thirty items were higher at statistically significant levels, and five were higher by more than 0.2 standard John W. Miller deviations. The top items on which perceptions increased significantly and most meaningfully from either 2004 or 2006 to 2008 were: • Billing policies are reasonable. • Financial aid awards are announced in time to be helpful in college planning. • Registration processes and procedures are convenient. • Respondents seldom get the “run-around” when seeking information on this campus. • A variety of intramural recreational activities are offered. • Tuition paid is a worthwhile investment. • There is an adequate selection of food available on campus. Complete results are available online at: http://www.ccsu.edu/oira/assessment/surveys/SSI/default.htm. Employee Satisfaction Survey Satisfaction was higher in 2008 than in 2007 on 53 out of 55 items; 41 were higher at statis­ tically significant levels, and 33 were higher by more than 0.2 standard deviations.
