Message from the Principal
.This is the last week before April Vacation and we have a lot going on in and around the school. From Bowlympics, to games on the fields, to a Service Day, to rehearsals for the Spring musical, to learning in the classroom… staff and students alike are busy. Once we return from break it will be a blur until we are at the graduation ceremony for the Class of 2026. Below are some updates and, as always, please reach out with any questions. Have a great week.
Bowlympics
This is Bowlympics week at BHS. Throughout the week of Bowlympics there will be different theme days which you can see here:
Bowlympics Theme Days
During Bowlympics we will have an alternative schedule that can be found here:
Bowlympics Schedule
. Thank you to Peer Outreach and their advisor Tabitha Pauley for all of their work.
End of the Year Reminders
As we approach the end of the year, and there are a number of events scheduled, I would like to remind everyone that we have funds available to help ensure students can fully participate in activities. We never want financial concerns to prevent a student from participating in an activity so if there are any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to me or your student’s school counselor.
Service Day
Below is the schedule for our Service Day on Wednesday. As a reminder, this is a school day and attendance is taken. To participate in after school activities students need to be present.
7:30–8:15 – Flex Time
8:20–9:30 – School Meeting (Thanks to donations from the Bow Athletic Club, Bow Booster Club, and Bow PTO, we will be hosting keynote speaker Mark Leinweaver, an MLB agent who speaks with students about leadership, character, and decision-making)
9:30–1:00 – Service Projects
1:00–2:50 – Service Day Celebration
To quote former President George H. W. Bush “there can be no definition of a successful life that does not include service to others”. I hope students enjoy the day out in the community and giving back to our neighbors.
Message from the Bow PTO
We are looking for volunteers for week long teacher appreciation events, as well as donated food items for the first half of the week! Thank you for your continued support of our wonderful teachers and staff. Here is the sign-up:
BHS Teacher Appreciation
Supporting a Cause
Please check out this
flyer
and consider supporting Blood Cancer United and their drive.
Message to Seniors
As part of the graduation ceremony, a slide show will be shown highlighting every graduating senior. Part of that slide show consists of a personal 'thank you' slide from each graduate. Students need to write a 2-3 sentence thank you for a person or people that have made an impact on them in some way. Students must have submitted their 'thank you' in order to buy prom tickets. Please email the 'thank you' to Linda Edmonds,
ledmonds@sau67nh.gov
. If you have any questions, please let me know.
America 250!
April 19th marks the day that first shots of the American Revolution were fired in Lexington and Concord. Here is a link to the NPS website and information about visiting this historical site:
Minute Man National Park
. Fun Fact - Lexington, Kentucky was so named to recognize the town that began the Revolutionary War.
In the Classroom
Students in Mr. Niemaszyk’s Forensic Science Class are trying to solve the fictional murder of Mrs. Schreiner in the library. Mr. Niemaszyk set up a crime scene with clues for students to analyze. Among the tactics they employed were observation, interviewing suspects, and evaluating the material they discovered. This is a fun class activity that mimics the actions of crime scene investigators. I am looking forward to discovering who the guilty party might be (my money’s on Mrs. Barth, just saying…)

Only seniors who have registered for the Senior Parking Lot may park in the Senior Lot. No other student parking is allowed on campus.
If you park illegally, your vehicle will be booted on the first offense, and there is a $20 fee to have the boot removed. A second offense will result in your vehicle being towed.
Please plan accordingly to avoid any issues.
ESports
Good luck to our ESports team who will be competing in the NHIAA championship April 19th at SNHU!

Last weekend the local 4-H robotics club (FRC team 8708) Ov3R1y K0Mp13X competed in Vermont. They had a challenging event but fought hard to keep the robot moving. They were part of the #1 Alliance and made it into the finals. They also showed up in judging winning the Engineering Inspiration Award which is one of the highest awards a team can get. The team is now headed to District championships in Springfield, MA to compete with the top 100 teams in New England in a few weeks!

Prior to the mid-20th century Polio was an illness that impacted countless individuals in the United States (including, famously, President Franklin Roosevelt). In the 1950s Dr. Jonas Salk developed the first Polio Vaccine and by 1994 polio had been eradicated in the Americas. Here is an article and timeline about the development of the Polio Vaccine:
History and Timeline
In the Classroom
In Joy Dustin’s Public Presentation class students have been practicing informational speeches. They have been working on presenting information in a factual and engaging way. They have also been discussing how to link visuals (Google Slides) to the oral component of their presentation. Public Presentation is a dual enrollment course that allows students the opportunity to earn college credit while in the course. This class is a great course for students to take no matter what their post-high school plans might be.

Message from the Principal
Last week we completed our decennial re-accreditation visit. The visiting team identified many strengths of our school but two of the biggest strengths that they kept coming back to was how dedicated our staff was and how engaged our students were in their learning. I was very proud to see that this group of people outside of our school community recognized this in our staff and students. Thank you to the entire school community for the support that allows us to thrive.
This week spring teams begin competing and we have two opportunities to see our students on stage. On Wednesday there is the small ensemble concert (jazz band, select choir, and string orchestra) and on Friday the Taters perform (with a few special guests). I look forward to seeing you at the events coming up.
Have a great week.
New Hampshire Financial Literacy 300
On Tuesday Bow High School competed in the New Hampshire Financial Literacy 300 championship. I am excited to share that BHS won! Congratulations to our Business teachers Leesa Hudak and Maureen Ariel as well as their team of Captain Colton Currier, Parker Kazanowski, Alex Edraos, Brad Ekstrom, Connor Eno, and Ciaran Duffy.
More Falcon Good News!
Junior Milo Cocola won the Rotary Four-Way Speech contest this past week. Congratulations to Milo as well as the other Falcons who participated in the competition. The Bow Rotary Club is a huge supporter of schools and they provide a number of scholarships each year. Thank you to this organization for all they do for our community.

Flex Days
There are a couple of Flex Days remaining in the 2025-2026 school year with the next occurring on April 15th. These days began in the 2020-2021 school year during the Covid Pandemic and we have had Flex Days each year since that time. Flex Days have been used to provide the opportunity for teachers to work one-on-one or in small groups with students to provide support or enrichment opportunities. They have also been used to conduct assessments such as the PSAT and SAT.
For the coming school year we will be transitioning away from monthly Flex Days. There will still be days with alternative schedules and time at the end of each semester to offer remediation. There are a couple of reasons for this change but the biggest factors are to provide more direct instruction for all students during the school year, and to increase student attendance on those days. We will continue to have time in the mornings for students to work with their teachers to receive additional support, enrichment, or to make up assignments.

Service Day: April 22, 2026
Students will sign up for their preferred service day activity on Tuesday in advisory. Following their sign ups parent permission forms will be sent to all families so families know what their child will be doing that day and details of their service project will be shared. Please support your students in reminding them to sign up and the importance of giving back to our community.
Support from Home with Phones
At the start of the year the Governor signed into law a bill preventing students from accessing personal communication devices during the school day. In the past month we have seen an uptick in students using devices and we have been issuing consequences accordingly. We need help from families. Please encourage your students to leave their phone in their vehicle, their locker, or their bag. If we contact you because a student was on their device please help us by reinforcing that this is a state law that we must adhere to as a public school. Thank you for your help.
Parking Update
Please review this update regarding student parking at BHS. This has been updated this week:
Parking Update March 2026
In the Classroom
Students in Derek DeAngelis’ Civics class have been studying the United States Constitution and the amendments that have been added since its adoption. The students have been creating their own Constitution booklet in which they summarized each amendment into their own words. A graduation requirement for all New Hampshire students is that they pass the US Naturalization Test. This course, in addition to helping students gain knowledge of American history and government, prepares them to meet this requirement.

Message from the Principal
This week we have our ten year reaccreditation visit from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). This culminates years of work that the staff at BHS have spent implementing recommendations and working towards strengthening our school community. We are excited to share our school with the visiting team and hear their feedback on the things we do well and our areas for growth. Thank you in advance to the students who are helping out this week by giving tours, meeting with the visiting team, and welcoming the visitors to their classes.
Thank you as well to everyone who helped prepare our students for the SAT this past week.
Monday we will have a school meeting to celebrate the work of our art and music students, hear announcements from classes, and watch our improv group perform. This meeting will be a good showcase of the many opportunities available to BHS students.
I hope everyone has a good week and please let me know if you need anything.

HOSA
Junior Claire Wilke has been selected as the 2026–2027 HOSA Hype Intern!  Claire was selected amongst other applicants for this student leadership role within HOSA.  This is a wonderful achievement and a reflection of Claire's enthusiasm, leadership, and commitment to the field of healthcare.   Congratulations, Claire!
HOSA - Future Health Professionals (formally Health Occupation Students of America) is an international student organization that helps students explore careers in healthcare and develop strong leadership skills. This year, senior Julia Hou created the first ever Bow High School chapter and has done an incredible job leading this amazing group of students.
This past weekend the following students had the opportunity to compete at the HOSA State Leadership Conference held in Concord:  Lia Karanough, Shelby Ledbetter, Casey Totten, and Umi Zahn.  They did an outstanding job!

In the Classroom
An important role in our school is the role of School Psychologist. This position impacts learning in the classroom by providing educational testing when required, collaborating with case managers on creating IEPs, serving as a resource to students and staff alike, and providing support to students allowing them to engage more fully in their classes. We are fortunate to have Eileen Jordan in that role at BHS. At a previous staff forum Eileen shared with staff how anxiety impacts students emotionally and educationally and her work to increase our knowledge of best practices in working with students has an impact in the classroom.

This class guides students in the development of independent life skills. It utilizes a peer coaching model approach to independence, and is geared toward students who are interested in professions that support others. This class focuses on simple housekeeping, pre-vocational skills, meal prep, clean up, social participation skills and lifetime leisure activities.

This is a busy week for our Visual and Performing Arts Departments. On Wednesday we are hosting the district music concert and on Saturday we are hosting the NHMEA Large Group Festival. In addition there will be student art on display throughout the foyer for people to view as they arrive for the concerts. Thank you to Sarah Bragg, Sophia Tucker, and Alicia Rockenhauser for the support and encouragement they give our students in the creative arts.
There are a couple more opportunities for students to receive SAT preparation this week. Please see my message below for more information. I hope you all have a great week.
Mission Day
The New Hampshire Army National Guard will be running “Mission Day” at Bow High School on Thursday. This event will showcase different careers and provide students with the chance to try a number of activities. This is an entirely optional event that parents need to provide permission for their student to take part in. As part of the day Governor Ayotte will be visiting to see the activities and talk with students. We are excited for this unique event and I would like to thank Derek DeAngelis and Kate Kulacz for all of their work to make this opportunity take place.
School District Annual Meeting and America 250!
Thank you to everyone who came out and participated in the School District Annual Meeting. As our moderator Nick Watson said, this style of governance precedes the founding of our nation. Here is a fun article from New Hampshire Magazine talking about the history, and some traditions, from town meetings:
New England Style Town Meetings
Winter Sports Awards
The Winter Sports Awards, originally scheduled for this Thursday, will be held on Monday, March 30th at 6:00PM instead.
Math Tutoring: Every Friday Morning (7:30 - 8:15)
Students who are in the National Honor Society are offering math tutoring, especially Geometry, every Friday morning 7:30 to 8:15. This is a great opportunity to get additional support in math courses.
State Testing for Juniors
We are one week away from the administration of the state mandated assessment for Juniors, the SAT. I will be meeting with Juniors during Advisory on Tuesday to talk about details and give a pep talk (channeling my inner Herb Brooks). This is a good opportunity for students to both demonstrate what they have learned and to experience what it feels like to take a standardized test. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Upcoming SAT Verbal Prep
The English Department will be offering sessions during Flex Time to help students prepare for the verbal section of the SAT. The next session is listed below and meets in Room 2216:

anonymous survey
, you are providing us with critical feedback we need to make sure our plan is serving our students, families, and community well.

In the Classroom
On Friday the BHS Concert Band travelled over to Bow Memorial School to participate in a joint rehearsal with the 7th and 8th grade band. The students are performing an exciting, high energy piece that features a quick tempo. Throughout the rehearsal Alicia Rockenhauser and Matt Davis encouraged the students to listen carefully to the instruments around them and to play with consistent articulation. This opportunity, for our musicians across the schools to come together to perform, is just another reason to attend the concert this Wednesday.

News from the Nest: March 08, 2026
Message from the Principal
This week is a four-day week for students. Tuesday is election day in the towns of Bow and Dunbarton and schools are closed. Friday is the Bow School District Annual Meeting. Please refer to messages from Superintendent Kelley with more details.
We are almost at the conclusion of the winter athletic season and our teams have a lot to be proud of this year. From outstanding individual performances, to a team championship, our students worked hard and showed both heart and grit. I strongly believe that the lessons learned during co-curriculars (sports, music, theater, robotics, clubs) are some of the most valuable things that can be taught.
A massive thank you goes out to our coaches and advisors for the hours they spend working with our students. Thank you as well to the families that support our students throughout the season. From helping provide food while a team is travelling, selling concessions at our games, or showing up in the stands to cheer on our students, we are blessed to have the support that we do from the towns of Bow and Dunbarton.
I hope you all have a great week.
Junior Family Night (Post-High School Planning)
We invite you to join us for the upcoming Junior College Planning Night at Bow High School on Thursday, March 12. This evening is a great opportunity for junior students and their families to begin learning more about the college planning process and the steps ahead. This presentation will begin at 6:00PM in the BHS Auditorium. An Education & Career Counselor from Granite Edvance will provide an overview of the college planning timeline, exploring interests and career paths, and an introduction to the college application and financial aid processes.
The BHS School Counseling Department will also share how students use SchooLinks to manage their college search, track applications, and request letters of recommendation.
In addition to our program at BHS, there is another great opportunity later this month for families who would like to learn more about the college planning process. On Saturday, March 28th at Plymouth State University, Granite Edvance will be hosting an event. Destination College is a free statewide college planning event for New Hampshire juniors and their families. Attendees can participate in college planning workshops, learn about the college application process, and attend a college fair.

Math Tutoring: Every Friday Morning (7:30 - 8:15)
Students who are in the National Honor Society are offering math tutoring, especially Geometry, every Friday morning 7:30 to 8:15. This is a great opportunity to get additional support in math courses.
Indoor Track Success
Your D2 State Champs - Gavin Buxton, 55m dash & Camden Wilson, High jump - represented BHS well last Saturday at the New England Indoor Track and Field Championship in Boston!
After clearing a personal best height of 5'4" at the state meet, Camden bested it again by clearing 5'5" to earn a podium finish of 5th place!! It was an incredible feat in a three hour long battle amongst the best jumpers in ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, & CT.
Gavin raced to 18th place in the 55m out of all of New England.
Both athletes are excited to have qualified at the national level and will be competing March 13-14 at New Balance Nationals!! Outstanding efforts for both and we look forward to seeing what they can do this spring in our outdoor season.
State Testing for Juniors
The state mandated testing of Juniors is scheduled for Wednesday, March 25th. The test the state uses, the SAT, provides all students the opportunity to experience what sitting for a standardized test feels like and also provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their career and college readiness. Last year, the Class of 2026, performed very well raising school scores and outpacing NH public and private schools. We would love to see this trend continue.
Families, you can help by emphasizing that regardless of a student’s future plans they should attempt to do their best on this assessment. Getting a good night’s rest the day before would also be beneficial. In addition to the test strategies prep that we provided all Juniors, both our English and Math Departments are continuing to offer content specific preparation. You can find out more about that below.
Upcoming SAT Verbal Prep
The English Department will be offering two sessions to help students prepare for the verbal section of the SAT.
The first will be on Wednesday, March 11th.
The second will be on Tuesday, March 17th.
Both sessions will be held in 2216 during morning flex.
Upcoming SAT Math Prep
Our Math Department is offering SAT Math prep during Flex on the days below. Please note that they have scheduled one of these sessions to coincide with a day that CRTC is not in session:
Friday, March 13th
Thursday, March 19th
Friday, March 20th (there is no CRTC this day)

SAU Strategic Plan
We are currently in the process of developing a new strategic plan that will guide the future of our schools, and your voice is an important part of that work.
Your feedback will play an essential role in helping us understand what is most important to our community and what you hope to see in the years ahead. By filling out this

Visit from Governor Kelly Ayotte
On March 19th Bow High School will be hosting Mission Day in cooperation with the New Hampshire Army National Guard. Governor Ayotte will be here that day to meet students and say a few remarks. I am excited our students have the opportunity to hear from our elected officials and meet them in person.
School Dance on March 14th
Tickets are on sale now through Thursday. All guest forms (found
Here
) need to be completed by Thursday. The dance will last from 7:00 - 10:00. Thank you Class of 2026 and their advisors, Joe Conti and Dan Attori, for organizing this event.
School Events
On Friday we had a musician come to our school to perform for students and staff. This artist has travelled the world and we were very lucky to have had this opportunity presented to us. I think if you ask the students who were there they would tell you what an amazing performance it was.
We have school meetings and school events to build community and provide shared experiences for students and staff. There is a direct correlation between a positive school environment, attendance, and academics. Shared experiences bring people together. I would like to ask that in the future, unless there is an already scheduled appointment, that families do not dismiss their student from these events. There are many ways to build a positive community and these events are one such way. Thank you for your support.
In the Classroom
Students in Integrated Life Science have been studying genetics and learning about such topics as dihybrid crosses and Punnett Squares. On Thursday, students in Lucy Koup’s Period 8 class began preparing for a “Fast Plants Lab” in which students will hypothesize whether the offspring of a plant will be tall, short, purple, or green. Dave Niemszyk, Amanda Guilbert, and Lucy Koup, our ILS teachers, mix direct instruction with hands-on activities to engage students in discovery and analysis.

News from the Nest: March 01, 2026
Message from the Principal
This is a busy time for us at Bow High School as welcome students back from February Break. Hopefully the school community had a fun and relaxing week off from classes.
March is Music in Our Schools Month and I cannot wait to hear what our students have been working on in their classes. We will also have many examples of student visual art on display during the District Art Show this month. In addition to this, we will be hosting the New Hampshire Army National Guard’s Mission Day, an event that is a great opportunity to learn about careers in the military. Governor Ayotte will be visiting our school to check out Mission Day and meet some of our students. Lastly, our Winter Athletic Teams will be involved in playoffs and we wish all of them the best as they get ready to compete.
Have a great week.
Wrestling - State Champs Again!
Congratulations to the BHS Wrestling Team for winning their third straight State Championship! The individual and team effort was tremendous and we are proud of both our athletes and coaches.
School Meeting on Friday
On Friday we will have a special School Meeting with a performance by Lindsay Deutsch and Jason Stoll. According to their press release “this powerhouse duo takes the crowd on a whirlwind journey through the hits of the centuries, expressing a variety of musical styles from classical to jazz to the popular hits of today. Trained at the world’s top conservatories, Lindsay Deutsch and Jason Stoll showcase their dazzling technique as they perform masterpieces by the rock stars of yesteryear such as Bach and Beethoven; and draw parallels to the entertainers that audiences grew up with including Frank Sinatra, Elton John, and Billy Joel. Spiced with humor and laughs and a bit of history, audiences everywhere rave about these unique artists and their diverse and entertaining programming.”
The guest artists are coming to BHS at a specific time due to their travel and performance schedule so the bell schedule is altered that day to account for this. Here is the schedule:
March 06, 2026
StateTesting for Juniors
There are two upcoming events that have a big impact on our school. The first is the state mandated testing which will occur on March 25th for all juniors. The state uses the SAT as the accountability test for schools and we have been providing preparation for our students so they can do their best.
The SAT itself is used to determine college and career readiness after high school. Students applying to colleges and universities usually need the SAT as part of their application process. For students who may not be intending to apply to college after high school, the SAT is an opportunity to sit and practice taking a standardized test. Many professions, from police officers to master electricians, to drivers who need a CDL license, are required to take some sort of exam to advance in their career. This is a good opportunity for students to practice taking an exam of this nature so when they are out of high school they have familiarity with the experience.
Currently, scores on the SAT are used as the primary metric to rate schools. We hope to have every Junior test on the 25th because any students who does not test have a score entered as a “zero” which impacts the school’s performance metric. See below for information about upcoming SAT math preparation.
Decennial Reaccreditation Visit
Bow High School, as is true of almost all private and public schools in the state, is an accredited institution. Every ten years we are required to go through a reaccreditation process as part of our membership in NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges). Our reaccreditation visit is set for the end of the month. This visit culminates years worth of work by staff at Bow High School. During the visit we will want to show those on the visiting team all of the things that make our school unique. At the conclusion of the visit we will be given a report that will highlight the many awesome things taking place each day, as well as areas we can continue to improve upon. Students will have the opportunity to meet with the visiting team to talk about their experience in school and the visiting team will speak with staff throughout the three days they are here. More information will be coming in the next few weeks.
School Dance on March 14th
Our next school dance will be held on March 14th. Students, be on the lookout for information regarding tickets this week.
Here
is the guest form if you would like to bring a guest from another school.
Poetry Out Loud
BHS student Paige Rabalais recently competed in the semifinals of Poetry Out Loud and did a great job. As a result she will be moving on to the state finals on March 6th. Good luck Paige.
Vex Robotics
For the third year in a row Bow High School will be sending a robotics team to the world championships! This year the championship will be held in St. Louis, MO. Congratulations to students  Allison Baier (sophomore), Derek Baier (senior), Colton Currier (senior) and Dirk van der Merwe (senior).
Universal Team Update
In Universal Team Advisory Fun:
We have been teasing a March 3v3 basketball tournament since the popularity of the November dodgeball tournament, and here it is! Put together your team for 3v3 advisory basketball action! Chat with your advisory this coming week, and please sign up by this Tuesday March 3rd. Many have already entered but who will take home the prize and be known as the first champs?!
There will also be a chance to compete against each other to fill out a bracket with your advisory for the NCAA men’s and women’s tournaments as well!
Upcoming SAT Math Prep
Our Math Department is offering SAT Math prep during Flex on the days below. Please note that they have scheduled one of these sessions to coincide with a day that CRTC is not in session:
Friday, March 13th
Thursday, March 19th
Friday, March 20th (there is no CRTC this day)
Monday, March 23rd
In the Classroom
In addition to being the Head Librarian at Bow High School, Sam Dixon often goes into classrooms to help teach students how to conduct research using a variety of online databases and resources. One of the most important skills, I believe, is evaluating sources and identifying credible information. Mr. Dixon shows students how to use resources such as the EBSCO and Gale databases when they do research so they have access to a wide variety of sources for their projects and writing.
