We are running a children’s book drive this month in the hopes of distributing children’s books to various places in the community (daycares, shelters, etc..) in the hopes of increasing a love of reading.
Staff can drop off any books in Ms. Aloisi’s classroom (M23), families interested in donating, similar to the coat drive, a box will be placed in the vestibule of the school for the community to drop off children’s books.
Thank you for all of your help in bringing books into our community!

SHOUTING OUT THE BIGGEST SHOUT OUT I CAN BECAUSE HE MORE THAN DESERVES IT!!!!
THANK YOU TO MR K for helping Haverhill Unified Athletics obtain a $500 donation from Haverhill Bank
In November we were at the Educator Awards that were sponsored by Haverhill Bank and Mr K struck up a conversation with Glenn from the bank. Mr K got me Glenn’s card and last week Glenn told us Haverhill Bank was giving us a donation for Unified! He deserves all the high five’s we can give him!
Not only is he a fabulous 1/1 for Aaron, he is one of our awesome assistant basketball coaches! His updates are fantastic! Mr K thank you for all you do for our kids!! Thank you Michelle for letting me “borrow” Aaron for the picture!!!
Thank you as well to Haverhill Bank for the donation!
Matthew Rinehart and his wife Caroline have a son Josh Rinehart (sophomore) who is a part of Unified Athletics. The Rinehart family got their family together and got us a very generous donation for unified athletics.
Thank you to Matt Rinehart and Family for fundraising a substantial amount of money for the Haverhill Unified Boosters.
Thanks to the money raised through their family contributions, combined with Bank of New York Mellon’s Community Impact, we will be able to have a well deserved banquet for all of our Haverhill High Unified athletes this year.
Sports Shoutouts! ~ What an amazing winter season!

Welcome to the newest member of our SRO family, Officer Timothy Campbell!
We had a wonderful event on Monday, February 26, 2024 celebrating the district’s partnership with the Auschwitz Birkenau Memorial Foundation. The students representing the high school, primarily drawn from our Holocaust and Crimes Against Humanity and AP US Government courses, were a wonderful audience for a first, official live virtual tour of the camp, and asked excellent questions of the tour guide– all in the presence of the Director General of the Foundation from Poland, with whom Ted Kempinski has been working to get this opportunity for Haverhill.
There was a report on the 6:00 news on Channel 5, about this event and our partnership! Thank you to the district and school administration, the grade 9 history team, Ted, District History Coach Meg DeLong, and everyone here who has been so supportive of this program from the time Ted brought it back from his summer Professional Development!

CTE Healthcare Occupations Freshman class learned about public health and a comparison of the topic in the USA vs Scotland. Dr. Kathryn Martin, an HHS alum, stopped by to share about her experiences both in the US and in Scotland, where she currently resides. Special thanks to Megan Arivella and Dr. Martin for providing this opportunity to our students! For more information about CTE work-based learning activities, reach out to

Students in the Biomedical Science and Healthcare Occupations Career Technical Education programs at HHS had the opportunity to hear from local pharmacy professionals. Pharmacists from the Greater Lawrence Family Health Center met with students to provide information about the pathway to becoming a pharmacist as well as information about a day in the life of a retail, clinic and disease management practitioner. Students were excited to hear about professionals who are the “face of medicine” as well as job opportunities and security. We appreciate our business mentors so much! For more information about work-based learning opportunities for CTE students, contact Lisa Hunt at
