Devin with Superintendent Dr Charles & BOE Chair Mr. Ravens-Seger

Congratulatory letter from President Trump

"Dr. Charles and the Board of Education members recognized East Granby High School 12th grader, Devin Stout, for earning and receiving the rank of Eagle Scout. Devin’s project consisted of coordinating a group of individuals to paint the parking lot lines at the East Granby Congregational Church. The project required a lot of manpower; it needed to be mapped out, stencils for the lines to guide the paint roller were made, and cleaning the parking lot before painting the lines needed to be completed. Devin shared that it took him 7 years to earn the 13 badges required to be an Eagle Scout." (BOE minutes 10.22.18)

COMMENDED STUDENTS IN THE 2018 NATIONAL MERIT® SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The principal, Antonio DeMelo, of East Granby High School announced today that Christian J Fagnant, Chloe Gosselin and Jack Tubridy have been named Commended Students in the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by the principal to these scholastically talented seniors.

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2019 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 scorers of more than 1.6 million students who entered the 2019 competition by taking the 2017 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®).

''The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success," commented a spokesperson for NMSC. "These students represent a valuable national resource;recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success."

State Trooper, East Granby Employee Earn Service Awards

On Aug. 19, 2016, a routine well-being check for an elderly East Granby man ended with negative results. The next day, Trooper Mahar returned to the man's residence to conduct a follow up check and met with Mr. Hubbard, a friend of the man. Trooper Mahar and Mr. Hubbard gained entry into the residence through a basement hatchway and found the residence filled with boxes and debris. They heard a low groan in an area of the basement where the first floor had collapsed. Trooper Mahar and Mr. Hubbard located the victim in a corner which had a low ceiling and dirt floor. They moved the victim to a safer location due to the poor structural condition of the house. The man was breathing and conscious, but unable to speak. He was immediately transported to a local hospital; it is estimated he was trapped in the basement for at least 24 hours. Trooper Mahar earned the Medal for Lifesaving; Mr. Hubbard earned the Commissioner's Recognition Award.
