President George H.W. Bush first declared the 30-day period on September 14, 1989. From entertainment to food and sports, the Hispanic and Latinx communities have left their impact on U.S. history and culture. While their contributions can be spotted throughout day-to-day life, Hispanic Heritage Month brings these accomplishments to the forefront. The EHS World Language department celebrates various culture on a continual basis and are excited for the activities planned around Hispanic American Heritage Month. The department will be highlighting significant events, individuals, and achievements each day on the morning announcement. Additional activities include “My Postal Stamp Contest”, Hallway Display and Gallery Hall, Museum Field Trip, fundraising, and local restaurant "Mi Cultura 2" will be helping us to exhibit the contest winner stamps! ​ ​ ​ ​ New Course in Social Studies! Personal Financial Management and Financial Literacy: Humanities ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Joel Senez, Humanities Director ​ This course is designed to familiarize students with their role as consumers in the national and global economy. In this course, students learn how to manage their personal resources by making informed choices as consumers in the marketplace. Financial matters that students are likely to encounter during both their school years and adult lives are to be discussed. The course prepares students to make financial decisions and introduces students to the principles of economics that apply to the functions of individual economic decision-makers. The course also develops students' familiarity with markets, distributions of income, and the role of government in promoting the greater efficiency and equity in the economy. Three weeks into the course students report being excited to learn about the real impact of finances on their lives and what they are looking at when they get their first paycheck! ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Math Curriculum Showcase ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Developing Critical Thinking Skills ​ Chris Ponte, STEAM Director The Math Department is excited to continue implementing strategies from Building Thinking Classrooms. Students will be engaged in fun activities that require them to work with peers to solve problems on whiteboards around the room.

Our emcees, Mr. Rob Barnes and Mr. Jordan Swilling along with the physical education department will lead us through a day of energy, excitement, and school spirit. Get ready to cheer on your classmates, showcase your Enfield pride, and enjoy a showcase of everything that makes our school community special. One of the highlights of the day is the annual field show, directed by our talented Band Director, Mrs. Ashley Schell, and led by Drum Majors Maya McCormick and Cassidy Weston. The show is always a crowd favorite, and this year’s performance will be one to remember. The Enfield High School Music Department has always been the foundation of EHS spirit and pride while providing the soundtrack of our school experience! And don’t forget, Homecoming Week will also feature spirit-themed days, giving students the chance to show off their school spirit in fun, creative, and new ways all week long!

We are also asking all chaperones to purchase a $10.00 ticket for the event. ​ ​ ​ ​ Schedule Update ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Laura Gagnon, 11th Grade Assistant Principal ​ There have been a lot of changes with our school schedule for this year. Our school counselors have been hard at work meeting with students to ensure schedules are just right. Any student that has a question about their schedule, should make an appointment with their counselor. Don’t forget that the add/drop period to make changes ends on September 17th. If students have questions about credit requirements and their progress towards graduation, our counselors are available to assist. Click on the counselors QR Code to schedule an appointment. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Attention 12th Grade: Senior Plans ​ ​ ​ ​ Dave White, School Counseling Coordinator ​ Now that we are into the middle of September, scheduling changes are wrapping up and counselors are gearing up to transition into assisting seniors with post-secondary plans. Later this month, counselors will be sending home graduation status letters to note credits and/or performance standards (literacy, numeracy, and science) that seniors still need to complete in order to graduate. Separately, counselors will also begin meeting with seniors individually to review plans and assist with the steps required for applying to colleges. Depending on the college and type of application method (i.e. early decision, early action, regular admissions, and rolling admissions), common fall application deadlines can be November 1st, December 1st, and January 1st. Seniors who intend to apply to 4-year colleges, should schedule appointments with their counselors over the coming weeks to review application steps. If they haven’t yet, seniors should also begin creating a list of colleges they intend to apply to and should create a CommonApplication account at www.commonapp.org. For any who are interested in a virtual fall college fair, NACAC (National Association for College Admissions Counseling) is hosting a virtual college fair on Sunday, September 15th from 1:00-6:00PM EST.

But why? ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Mark Dube, Director of the Arts ​ Students and families of EHS. You may wonder why we do the PACER, push-ups, curl-ups, and sit-and-reach tests. Are they just another task to check off your high school to-do list? Actually, these tests are designed to give you a snapshot of your overall fitness and health—something that matters long after graduation. The PACER test measures your cardiovascular endurance, helping you see how your heart and lungs perform during physical activity. Push-ups and curl-ups assess your muscular strength and endurance, which are key for daily activities like lifting or carrying things without strain. The sit-and-reach test checks your flexibility, which can prevent injuries and make movement easier. The life lesson here? Maintaining your physical health is a long-term investment. These tests give you a baseline, helping you understand your strengths and areas for improvement. As you grow older, being fit isn't just about looking good—it's about feeling good, having energy, and living a healthy, active life. So, while the tests may seem like a hassle now, they serve a bigger purpose: teaching you how to take care of your body, now and in the future. So, stay hydrated! Keep your body fueled with nutritious foods and make sure to get plenty of rest! No matter how you perform, it's a great opportunity to see your results and make a plan to get better! ​ ​ ​ ​ EHS Open House ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Sept. 19th 6pm-8:30pm ​ EHS parents, guardians, and caregivers are cordially invited to Enfield High School’s annual Open House, to be held on Thursday, September 19th.
