Only days remain for the senior class and their high school career will come to an end. Luckily, we have memories to hold with us forever.

The top four memories, voted by seniors, are Homecoming day, Senior Skit, Powderpuff, and Senior Prom.

Senior Dana Llarena said, “it was good to take the league title back on homecoming day” while Darren Dela Pena says, “the dance routine [for skit] was epic.”

In the past, the district had to cut out school bus transportation and other things in order to balance the district budget. Now, after the latest revision of the state budget, the New Haven Unified School District will be laying off teachers. The lay offs will be taking effect in the 2010-2011 school year.

Teachers were notified in March about the lay offs. Most of the teachers who are being laid off are teachers who were hired this year or ones with temporary contracts. The departments facing the biggest cuts are the Math and English departments.

From wikipedia:
Charlotte Hawkins Brown (June 11, 1883 - January 11, 1961) was an American educator and academic.

Born Lottie Hawkins in Henderson, North Carolina, in the late 1880s her family moved north to settle in Cambridge, Massachusetts. An exceptional student in a very white world, during her senior year of high school, Alice Freeman Palmer, a former Wellesley College president, provided financial support to enable her to further her education at the State Normal School in Salem.
