On Thursday, May 15th, six of our seniors were honored alongside more than 300 other soon-to-be graduates at the North Shore Honors Scholars Dinner. This annual event, hosted by the North Shore Chamber of Commerce, celebrates the top five percent of graduating seniors from area high schools.

These students have demonstrated exceptional achievement over the past four years and have bright futures ahead. Representing the Generals, from left to right, are Maren Cassidy, Kate Cassidy, Maddie Carey, Julia Bial, Madeline Ciaramitaro, and Katherine Reed.

The GSA is planning to decorate the front of each of the schools with chalk rainbows again to celebrate Pride Month 😊. This has been such a meaningful event over the last 3 years, and we are excited to do it again!  Chalk Decorating will be held after school on Tuesday, June 3, and our official RAINBOW DAY will be on Friday, June 5th.

Questions about sizing? Take a look at the Sizing Guide for each shirt option.

Ordering a Youth Shirt? Don’t worry… I know it looks wonky on the order form, but CustomInk has assured me that the final print will look beautiful.

Why the tight turnaround? Our 8th-Grade GSA members advocated for shirts to arrive before the DC Trip this year, and we want to honor that!
