On Wednesday, March 29, 2017, Manchester High School West is hosting a school-wide Career Day. The structure will be different from similar events that often follow a "career fair"-type format in which professionals representing various fields set up displays and wait to be approached by interested students. At West, every teacher will be matched with a guest speaker related to his or her subject area. For example, in the math department, one teacher may host an accountant while other math teachers host a stockbroker or a carpenter. Students will follow their regular schedules and be introduced to a different career field with each class change. Speakers are asked to give a hands-on or interactive presentation to the classes they meet. West is offering full-day and half-day sessions for interested professionals. Lunch will be provided in all sessions. Full day. 7:15 am - 3:00 pm Morning only, 7:l5 am - 11:30 am Afternoon only, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm Members of the com
On June 1, students and staff hosted a community event to showcase some of what makes Parker-Varney worthy of statewide recognition. Much of the school's success can be attributed to project-based learning, in which students are
encouraged to design and manage hands-on community service and research
projects. Other highlights of Parker-Varney are the Innovation Learning Lab,
which provides students with daily individual instruction in literacy and math,
and enhanced professional development opportunities for the teachers to learn
from each other and try new things. Family and community involvement have been
crucial components to the success at Parker-Varney. School volunteers have
quadrupled from 25 to 100 participants in the past couple of years.
