On November 19th seven Carver Middle High School students traveled to Stoughton, Massachusetts in order to participate in a Habitat for Humanity building project as part of their community service graduation requirement. Habitat for Humanity provides affordable housing for low income families worldwide and relies on the services of volunteers to complete their mission which has provided thousands of homes to deserving families for over 30 years. Participants included; Sean Callahan, Jackson Cottam, Michaela Kuchinsky, Jonathan Letsche, Taryn Minahan, Brooke Meredith, and Kaylie Wentworth. Students were accompanied by  Ms. Vanessa Haen and Mr. Thomas McLean from the math and history departments.

The 2016 Massachusetts Mock Trial Competition is under way, and Carver students, let by Ms. Perkins are preparing to present either side of the case.  This year challenges the team with a criminal murder case involving a war veteran who may or may not have suffered from PTSD which did or didn’t activate a reflexive response to fireworks going off around him; the end result was that his high school nemesis was shot multiple times and killed.  The trial dates and final team have not yet been set, but stay tuned.

CMHS seniors Natalie Mosher,  Sabrina Pangione, Ryan Semple, Connor Skinner, and Madison Staples, were recently nominated as James Otis Scholars and participated in the ninth annual Lecture Series at the Massachusetts State House in Boston on September 19th.

The Massachusetts chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates holds the annual event to commemorate Constitution Day, the signing of the US Constitution on September 17.

Students sat in the Chamber of the House of Representative in the State House and heard a panel of law experts deliver speeches and answer questions during the program– Religion and the Law.

The students enjoyed the field trip, learned insightful information about the separation of church and state and are now recognized as “James Otis Scholars.”
