“You’ll shoot your eye out”. It’s a classic line from the Christmas classic, A CHRISTMAS STORY. Adapted from the screenplay by Philip Grecian, our AWHS Theater Ensemble treated the audience to two nights of humor and theatrical silliness as it kicked off its 2018 -19 season with this beloved Christmas yarn.

Archbishop Williams is proud of the graduates of this school who have served in the Armed Forces. School librarian Mrs. Joanna Sands, in particular, feels both honored and obligated to recognize the service of our veterans.

Senior year is a lot about “finals”. No, not the dreaded end of year exams; rather, it is the final high school class, final lunch in the caf, final school liturgy, final school dance. But there is one final that is announced on the Morning Bulletin that elicits lots of emotions from our student athletes.

Weymouth’s Sallyrose Savage, Class of 2020, is still “beyond excited”. After five years of performing in school shows, Sallyrose received her first major role in the Theater Ensemble’s production of A CHRISTMAS STORY.

It’s that time of year when the holidays loom and the thoughts of how each of us is blessed is recognized in so many ways. Perhaps the one blessing we take for granted is the gift of food. We wake up each day and decide if our bagel will have cream cheese or butter; will lunch be salad and yogurt and dinner pasta or fish? Rarely do we wonder if there will be food on our tables.

It appears that Archbishop Williams High School had a 4 leaf clover in its pocket when they hired Michela Schuster as our new Director of Admissions.

A lesson in “identity theft” was the lesson of the day in Mrs Joanne Adams Economics class. With returning guest speaker Lauren Pedretti, Community Outreach and Financial Literacy Specialist from the Quincy Credit Union, students were given the opportunity to be aware of the hard consequences that occur when identity theft happens.

It’s been a busy season for retreats at AWHS. That’s the way it should be, too. Students from the middle school to high school know that part of their Williams’ education is to spend time developing their faith life. Retreats provide the time.

When Derek Tardanico, Class of 1992, finished his football career at Williams, he amassed stellar stats. Over his three years on varsity, the Bishops record stood at 25 -5-1. Derek rushed for 2600 yards, over 500 receiving yards and scored 31 touchdowns.

Members of the AWHS chior were treated to a Master class in singing when Mixed Company, a Yale a cappella group came to AWHS and demonstrated to students how one sings a cappella.

Fall. Think orange and red leaves. Think yellow gold sunrises and pink purple sunsets. Think God and His creation. Now see 14 AWHS students hiking to Inspiration Point, in Bristol, NH. This was the Inspire Retreat where students, from freshmen to seniors, took advantage of an opportunity to “be in nature to reflect on their relationship with God, on what God was calling for them to do this year, and to remember to always have faith and courage to follow their path.”

Director Linda DeRosa-Coakley is excited. She is also busy. The new season for our AWHS Theatre Ensemble is in full swing… the 50 cast and crew members can be found in the school auditorium most afternoons practicing lines and crafting sets. The fall season opener is the popular classic, A Christmas Story and the curtain goes up on November 16th and 27th.

Dan Huy Tran was excited. Carry On author Lisa Fenn was coming to AW to talk about her memoir that was the school-wide summer read. For Dan, it was “so good to hear directly from the author. It gives the book a whole new experience.”

Meet Yuez Li. Meet Melody, aka, Yuez Li. As most international students do, Yuez has come to Archbishop Williams with a new name to begin this American chapter in her life. She has left family and home in Beijing, China to receive what she believes is “the best education in the world.” And although she “misses her mom in this new environment”, she is excited and happy to be a Bishop!
