Golden Apple - WMRHS Staff Member of the Month
The Golden Apple symbolizes the characteristics of what a great educator strives to be. This month the award was handed to Aric Moody and the information technology department at White Mountains Regional High School. Mr. Bill Jones (September’s award winner) award the Golden Apple to Mr. Moody.
Mr. Moody, a 2010 WMRHS graduate, has been a mainstay at WMRHS for the last 7 years. Mr. Jones said, “Aric is always willing to drop whatever he is doing to go help a teacher or staff member with a computer or technology problem.”
Principal Mike Curtis added, “Technology problems can be stressful, the teacher can’t teach a segment of the lesson, the guest speaker in the auditorium can present (while 370 students look at him or her awkwardly) so the call goes out to Aric to save the day. Aric is a gentleman and a huge part of Sparta”.
Congratulations to Aric Moody for being selected as October’s staff member of the month.
No CTE classes in Littleton on Nov. 9. Students who attend Littleton may report to WMRHS for block 2 class.
