Sanborn Announces New College Dual Enrollment Opportunity With Southern New Hampshire University

By -



Sanborn Regional High School is excited to announce a new partnership with Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) that will significantly increase the number of college-credit opportunities available to its students. 

For the 2016-2017 school year, Sanborn is participating in the SNHU In The High School Program, a dual enrollment program where Sanborn students can earn college credit while still in high school by taking Sanborn courses that have been approved by SNHU for both Sanborn and SNHU credit. 



SNHU has approved seven current Sanborn courses and teachers for this program for next year:




Since these courses are already part of Sanborn’s Program of Studies, registration will occur through the normal course selection process that Sanborn’s Counseling Department is currently working on with all students. Students who wish to enroll in the college credit option with SNHU will have the option to do so when the class starts in the fall. The cost to students for the college credit option will be $100.00 per three credit course and $25.00 per one credit lab. This cost represents a savings of 90 percent of traditional undergraduate day tuition.

This SNHU partnership is a welcomed addition to the college-credit opportunities that are currently available to Sanborn students through one of the following programs:

Northern Essex Community College Dual Enrollment: Sanborn students can dually enroll in two courses: English Composition 1 and the College Success Seminar. Both courses are taught during the school day by NECC instructors.

Great Bay Community College Project Running Start: Sanborn students can dually enroll in up to four Sanborn courses that are eligible for GBCC credit: Drawing, Statistics, TAC Math, and Senior Critical Analysis. These courses are taught during the school day by Sanborn teachers.

Advanced Placement: In partnership with the College Board, Sanborn offers the following AP courses: Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Government, Language and Composition, Literature, Spanish, and US History. Students may earn college credit based on their score on an end-of-year exam, depending on which post-secondary school they enroll in. These courses are taught during the school day by Sanborn teachers.

Additionally, college credit opportunities are available to Sanborn students through the Seacoast School of Technology (SST) and the Virtual Learning Academy Charter School (VLACS).

My Speech to the NHS Inductees on Scholarship

By -

Tonight, I will be speaking to you about scholarship, one of the four pillars of the National Honor Society. Scholarship is one of those words that we all can identify with, but it isn’t that easy to define. Dictionaries often define it to mean “academic achievement, learning; or the qualities of a scholar.” The qualities of a scholar --- well my ninth grade English teacher Mr. Tomallo never would have allowed me to use the word I was trying to define in the definition, so I have to dig deeper. What is a scholar? Again I turn to the dictionary, and I find the following: “A scholar is a learned person, someone who attends school or studies with a teacher.” I’m still not satisfied with this result. It seems the online dictionaries that Google has offered me are not helping me summarize what should be an easy-definable concept, scholarship. Perhaps I will need to research some examples of scholarship to help us better understand the concept.   In preparation for this speech...

Does Your School Facility Need a Makeover?

Does your school facility need a makeover? According to this 2012 report by the National Center for Education Statistics, 53% of American schools are due for such an upgrade. Upgrades can be done in ways to fit almost any school budget. The key for school principals is to stretch the financial resources they have to provide the biggest rate of return possible to enhance student learning and overall school culture.   At a recent visit to my child’s middle school, the principal took me on a tour of recent upgrades made to their front entrance lobby. The building, built quickly and cheaply in the 1970’s has long since reached the status of obsolete in our community, yet we as a voting community just aren’t ready to support a project to build a new middle school. Like so many other principals from coast to coast in this situation, the principal had to look for small ways to make facility upgrades that would have a big impact. The lobby project was this kind of a project. Much...

My Speech to the NHS Inductees on Character

By -

Character is perhaps the most abstract of the four National Honor Society pillars, and that perhaps makes it the most difficult to quantify and speak about. Most of us would say that we know good character when we see it. We identify with examples of strong character. Consider this situation: Four friends from out of state are passing through Kingston on their way to a vacation in the White Mountains. Their names are Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer. Yes, for those of you who recognize this story I am talking about the 4 main characters from the television series Seinfeld and this is the famous “final episode.” They witness a robbery in broad daylight. The robber has his hand in his pocket, and the victim shouts that the man has a gun. As soon as the robber runs away, a Kingston policeman appears on the scene; but instead of pursuing the robber, he arrests Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer for having violated the "Good Samaritan" law. Since the four of them spent ...
