Recently, Medfield High School junior Joe Marie won the CDMASC vice president race. CDMASC stands for Central District Massachusetts Association of Student Councils. There are over 50 schools involved in the Central District, and Marie ran up against eight other talented students from these schools. I recently had a chance to sit down with Marie and ask him some questions about the victory and what it means for his political career. Remy Fragola (RF): What does this mean for your political career? Joe Marie (JM): It is a big step in terms of holding office at a regional level. Also, it should be a good learning experience. RF: How long did it take to write your speech? JM: It took me about 15 minutes to write and many hours of practicing …

“Produce an image translating your understanding of a significant moment in Paul Baumer’s narration in the novel All Quiet on the Western Front, which seems to depict the truth about WWI, in your opinion.” This is the prompt that roughly 150 students from Ms. Libby Wiese and Mrs. Sarah Brown’s sophomore classes were faced with. If you’re a junior or senior, then you probably remember reading All Quiet and having to produce a graphic novel. This project consisted of hours spent up late at night stressing out over the amount of work that was required. After hearing complaints from previous students, these two English teachers decided to change the project. “Let’s do one image, one paragraph, shorten it down, but still make it as important …

Ni hao! For the first time in the history of Medfield High School, students have the unique opportunity to learn the world’s most popular language from a Chinese resident. In past years, Mandarin class was taught by teacher Mrs. Batts – who also is fluent in Spanish.

The Medfield High School boys' varsity lacrosse team won back-to-back state titles last season. It was a tremendous achievement in Medfield High School sports. However, after the season, the team faced turmoil when its head coach, Bob Aronson was let go. The reason for his dismissal is still unknown. The team’s new coaches, John Isaf and Mike Douglas, were assistant coaches of the team last season and while the Warriors may appear to be different from the outside with new head coaches, they are still the same hardworking team on the field. The team is led this season by senior captains Conor Roddy, Clay Richard, Tom Conlon and Cam Donnelly. The strong senior group is sure to be the foundation of the team this year. “If we play the way we …

Beginning in February, Medfield High School's Spanish IV students have been preparing oral presentations about their lives, which will be presented throughout the semester during class. The title of the project, “Lo que me importa,” translates to “that which interests me.” Students have the opportunity to select three topics to speak about during their presentation: an important person in their lives, their favorite activity and a third topic of choice. According to Ms. Leori Seri, MHS Spanish teacher, it is a “department goal to promote speaking proficiency among our students.” The World Languages faculty hopes that “students are able to communicate and explain their lives with native speakers” by talking about their interests to their …

The Medfield High School Boosters recently approved a grant that was submitted by SAT/ACT Prep course teacher Mrs. Bethan Sancher. The class consists of one term in English, which Sancher teaches, and the other in math. She made the request because she “wanted to try and make the SAT Prep class more about life and test-taking skills.” Sancher explained that while students may take the SAT only two times, there will be many other tests in school and then later on in college. By focusing on life …
