Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I hope you had a wonderful day.

A big shout out to Student Council and Josh Wiczer for the first Spring spirit week and pep rally we have had in a while.  I appreciate the teacher participation and support.  It means a lot to the students!



I also wanted to share some pictures from our visit with the Japanese students. It was a great cultural exchange. I wanted to share the email from their program.  The students and staff had such a great experience at AHS and commented all day on how impressed they were with our community.  Thank you!


Hi Kelley,

Thank you so much for hosting our students from Tsuchiura High School! This was absolutely one of the most meaningful experiences during their trip to Boston. They spoke about the wonderful experience all day yesterday! The teacher and vice principal were equally enthused and impressed by Ashland High School, the students, the teachers, the offering of classes, and the entire experience. They expressed much gratitude and appreciation!


The turnout for the presentation was amazing. Your students were so wonderful, and the students were grateful at the interest in them, their school and Japan and for participating in their dance!





Next week is PACE Week thanks to our PBS team!  PACE stands for Positive Attitude Changes Everything.  Our Positive Behavior Supports(PBS) team has set up fun activities outside the library and cafeteria during break each day to better the student's week and set you on the path to positivity. Come join us in the fun if you can! 

Friday, March 22 is the Special Olympics and we will send-off our athletes with a celebration!
The 5-Town Special Olympics is scheduled for Friday, March 22.  The athletes need to be in Holliston at 9am. We will once again do a send-off parade t will be between 8:20am-8:40am. Please line the hallways when the announcement is made to help cheer them on.  

April is Sexual Assualt Awareness Month.  Framingham State is welcoming guests to this Survivor presentation.

Good afternoon- Thanks to everyone who helped to make New Student Orientation a success last night. It was great to see so many students and staff in the building. I am looking forward to seeing you all on Monday. We start at 8AM in the auditorium. There will be some members of the Class of 2026 painting their parking spots on Monday afternoon. Please try to park in the faculty parking lot or in the back of the building if you usually park in the student section.  New staff, please join the staff  Google Classroom . All information sent to faculty/staff will be housed here. The  class code is a5ca6a4. The custodians have been working hard to make sure each classroom has the correct number of desks (minus study halls). There may be a few classrooms off a desk or two based on student moves at the end of this week. If anyone has furniture in their rooms that is not being used, please let me know. We are short some L-shaped desks, under-desk file cabinets, and bookcases....

Good morning- I hope the adjustment to the clocks springing forward hasn't thrown you off too much. I love that it means more light in the afternoon/evening.  On Thursday, March 13 year 2/3 teachers from Milford and Nipmuc High Schools will be here for learning walks. I have shared a schedule with impacted teachers but it may change over the next few days. Thank you for your flexibility and willingness to welcome new educators.  I am sure you saw Jim's message that the School Committee will hear our proposal on Competency Determination for the Class of 2025 at their meeting on Wednesday, March 12. I hope to share an update at our faculty meeting on Thursday, March 13, after school in the library . The meeting will involve MCAS training. As you are aware, the state has moved to a new portal so it will be important information for everyone to hear. Training for staff that do not attend faculty meetings will be scheduled at another time. Following the training, we will be walking...
