    Community Forum Addresses Renovations

    A Community Forum was held in the Lucy Hurlin Theatre on December 4 to inform the public about the planned renovations of the Career and Technical Education spaces at ConVal High School as well as other proposed improvements to the facility.

    This year, ConVal is eligible to receive state funding to subsidize the modernization of the Applied Technology Center. This state funding covers 75% of the CTE renovation costs. In preparation for this opportunity, the ConVal School Board and Administration partnered with the architectural firm LAVALLEE | BRENSINGER to develop a comprehensive renovation plan.

    This plan incorporates improved safety features, ​such as a more secure main entrance, the replacement of aging electrical equipment, and an upgraded fire alarm and evacuation system. Lastly, the plan contains an option to reconfigure the Lucy Hurlin Theatre (LHT), a space that was originally envisioned to be a lecture hall but has served as a makeshift performance space.

    At the Forum, architect Jay Doherty summed up the issues that would be addressed by the renovations.

    German Teachers Attend ACTFL Conference

    Frau Concannon and Frau Hodgdon participated in the 2024 ACTFL Annual Convention and World Languages Expo at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, November 22-24. The event was attended by more than 6,000 world language teachers from around the country.

    At the conference, Frau Hodgdon gave two presentations, one devoted to ways how Austria, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland can be incorporated into the study of German ("Flachify Your Curriculum") and the other on "Using Humor to Advance Student Engagement."

    As faculty of ConVal High School — one of only 14 high schools in the United States to be designated as a "Partner for Future School" (PASCH) — they also participated in a PASCH networking event and did some work as a GEM (German Educational Multiplier) for the Goethe Institut.

    The goal of their work at the conference was to facilitate sustained dialogue to ensure that the teaching of German adheres to current standards, promotes innovation, and meets the needs of today’s students.​

    ECHO Members Attend Leadership Conference

    On Wednesday, 15 members of the ECHO student club took a field trip to attend a student leadership conference at Saint Anselm College. 

    Along with students from other New Hampshire high schools and community members, students discussed the forum’s essential question: “What did you call me? A Conversation on Discourse in our Communities.” The keynote speaker for the day was Dr. Chris Beem of Pennsylvania State University who addressed the issue of labeling as an impediment to community discourse and social dialogue.

    ECHO grew out of the former Student Athlete Leadership Team (SALT). The goal of ECHO is to model positive student leadership that reflects the core values of ConVal High School. ECHO also leads school-wide activities, for instance the "Claws for a Cause" basketball game, and has been planning a community project to support the Peterborough Food Pantry.
