The North Reading School Committee meeting held on May 19, 2025, featured a comprehensive student report presented by Srikanth, highlighting recent events and activities within the school community.
The report began with a recap of the North Shore Commerce dinner, which saw participation from the top 5% of the graduating class and included representatives from 35 schools, marking it as a significant event.
Athletic achievements were also a focal point, with the girls' track team securing first place at the state meet for the tenth consecutive year, while the boys' charter team finished in third place. Other sports activities included a girls' tennis match against Hamilton-Bowen and an away game for the boys' baseball team, along with a girls' softball game scheduled against Hamilton-Bowen.
In academic updates, Srikanth noted that class officer elections were underway for the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. He mentioned that seniors would be facing finals the following week, with the last day of school set for a half day on Friday, followed by a school closure on Monday.
The report also touched on the ongoing preparations for Advanced Placement (AP) exams, which were a primary focus for students. Srikanth shared insights into a reflective writing assignment undertaken by the senior class, guided by a temporary substitute teacher during the maternity leave of their regular instructor. This assignment involved students reflecting on their school experiences and life over the years, including writing about their freshman year school pictures and favorite memories.
Overall, the meeting underscored the active engagement of students in both academic and extracurricular activities as the school year approached its conclusion.
