High School Social Club:
                           Bringing Teachers Together
Screenshot 2026-11-01 at 7.02.07 PM.png

High School Art Teacher, Nick Bonvissuto and Science Teacher, Bennett Granieri kicked off the Social Club this year with a simple goal: to spread a little fun and cheer throughout the high school while giving teachers more opportunities to connect outside of the school day.

​

So far, both happy hours at Beer Co. have been a great success, with an excellent turnout and plenty of opportunities to relax, socialize, and enjoy time together away from the classroom. It’s been great to see colleagues coming together, building connections, and enjoying each other’s company outside of work!

The fun continued this past Friday night with the club’s most recent event—a Halloween Party! ​

​

A big thank-you to Nick and Ben for taking the initiative to bring our staff together and help build a stronger sense of community at the high school. Your efforts are appreciated!
