Congratulations to our new school board members who were sworn in on Tuesday night: Tish Campbell, Byron Matto, and Leigh Hudson! The event included the high school singers and the NH Congressional Delegation.

Impressive ceremony and a great kick off to the work with our new board.

Fun event to attend. My rookie attempt at debate judging. Great group of students….why didn’t I do debate in high school? Really cool.

Congratulations to our Alpine team!

Great to be part of the conversation today. Once again impressed by our students.

Portsmouth HS Wrestling had a great showing at the NHIAA DII Wrestling Championship held at Hollis-Brookline HS. Junior Elijah Josey wins the DII CHAMPIONSHIP at 190 lbs. as well as six Clippers finishing in the top 5 and advancing to the Meet of Champions! Great job by all!

Great job by the cheer squad!

Congrats to our wrestlers! Great job Elijah Josey on his DII Championship!

This an excellent program. It’s great to see the students from Lister Academy serving as mentors to so many younger students.

And off we go! Clippers vs Salem in the Quarterfinals!

Ticking down the minutes to the championship game for Girls Ice Hockey. Go ClipperCats!

Great second period! As we head to the third, Oyster River-Portsmouth Girls up 1-0!! Only a one period between the girls and a state championship! Come on ORP!

So close….2-1 to Hanover. It’s a disappointing outcome but great game and season for the girls. Hold your heads high.

There’s still time to swing by Lister Academy for today’s maple sugaring activities. It’s the culmination of an amazing amount of interdisciplinary study and work with younger peers across the district. Open until 2!

Another solid step on our strategic planning process tonight. Thanks to all the folks who helped do initial review of strategies and action steps. For more info on our process: sites.google.com/sau52.org/psds…

Running out the door from strategic planning at Portsmouth Middle School and straight over to the spring musical at Little Harbour Elementary School! Spring time in Portsmouth School Department! Lots of good stuff happening in the City of the Open Door.

Kudos to our teachers and students on the Kelly Clarkson Show yesterday. A real tribute to the folks that make Portsmouth Schools such a special place.
