Many of the teachers who you may have had in high school are now retired, or may have moved on to another school district. I began in September 1968, and am now the senior member, if you like, of the high school staff. Mr. Nolan, Ms. Kowalczyk, Mr. Benanti, Ms. Provissiero, Mrs. Wanca (Sullivan), Ms. Flejzor, Mrs. Vassi, Mr. Meder, Mrs. Shawl, Mr. Jordan, Mr. Baron, Mrs. Stagg, Mrs. Stankiewicz, Mrs. Francisco, Mrs. Chowanec have all retired.  The new staff is very young, but energetic and enthusiastic. The building has a new level of energy.
