This past Wednesday, The Beech Hill School hosted the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Greater Concord cohort for their education day. The cohort consists of 30 leaders from a wide range of industries in the Greater Concord area. The focus of the day was education in the Greater Concord area, and the cohort started their day at BHS. As soon as the participants entered the school, they were greeted by BHS students, who offered participants a tour for the school. Following the tours the cohort went about their work, and eventually moved on to several different locations around the city. The day concluded back at BHS, where Commissioner of Education Frank Edelblut addressed the cohort. Throughout his remarks, he spoke glowingly of BHS, our innovative programs and our exceptional faculty.
To say that I was proud of the students, faculty, and the school itself would be an understatement. The students were so excited to welcome our guests and they represented themselves and our community with distinction. At the very end of the day, I had the opportunity to introduce Commissioner Edleblut to one of the members of the 7th Grade. That student wowed Commissioner Edelblut with his knowledge of history and his ability to speak so well.
It is not every day that we get to showcase our students outside The Beech Hill School community, but when we do, they always impress!
