Ready to Learn, Ready to Thrive

Walking into school for their first “normal” day back after the chaos of the past year and a half, Terryville High School students did not expect the plans that awaited them. Instead of the usual bouncing from classroom to classroom and going over syllabi and rules, students were first instructed to make their way out to the track to the sound of motivating music where a pep rally of sorts was held.

Spirit Week Spreads Cheer Throughout the 2020-2021 Year

Throughout February, students received notifications from the news on their phones; they were frequently updated about the spread of COVID-19 as it infected thousands. At first, it seemed like something that was strictly…

Morning Announcement Boys Back At It Again

Every day at Terryville High school the morning bell rings, allowing students to exit their first period classes and rush off, feet pounding down the halls, to wait in line at the cafeteria to get some breakfast before finding their way to their homerooms. Eight minutes later, the bell rings again, signaling that it is time for the next period to start. As the scent of french toast and waffle sticks dunked in maple syrup…
