Although the homecoming dance and assembly may look different this year, Student Council and Senior Class Board have had to create a different plan than usual.

They use the brand new library and learning stairs to work collabortively together or simply getting their homework done. The library and steam room also feature new furniture and meeting rooms for students as well. Pictured above the football team uses the learning stairs to go over different strategies.

Mark Frey, school resource officer, stands with Matt Aiello, dean of students, across from the main office, where they normally greet students. “He listens, he doesnt lecture. He is there to listen and he will offer advice. Hes at all the events and hes there as a person who wants to be there; hes got no other agenda,” Aiello said. “He wants to be there for the students, he wants to be there for the staff. He can take a joke and he can give a joke. I think just his demeanor, you see him and I often in the halls and we try to say hi to everybody. He tries to say ‘hi’ to everyone and jokes with everybody. I think he brings a really calming presence to our building.”
