Breakthrough Manchester chooses high school student teachers


Eighteen outstanding high school juniors and seniors have been selected to teach in the school-year Super Saturday program at Breakthrough Manchester. Seven of those students are from Central and West high schools! Applicants were chosen after a review of their written application, a teacher recommendation, their transcript, a group collaborative exercise, and a mock teaching trial.

Congratulations to Andy Vo, Monericka Semeran, Lejla Hodzic, Arielys Liriano, Haley Nalen, Emma Nyngwara, and Carolina Patino.

The mission of Breakthrough Manchester is to launch promising Manchester middle school students, particularly those with limited opportunities, on the path to college while inspiring high school and college students to pursue careers in education. Sixth graders from Manchester middle schools apply and are selected for a tuition-free, three-year program that academic summers and school year supports.
All Breakthrough programming, including transportation and meals, is provided tuition-free to students and families, and is funded by foundations, businesses, and individuals.

WANTED: Community professionals to participate in Career Day

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
