MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Fellow Eagles,
As we close the 2018-2019 school year, we reflect with prideon the accomplishments of our graduating seniors and look forward to welcominga new freshman cohort. We also reflecton the accomplishments of our remarkable staff. This year, we are very proud toannounce that our very own Mr. Allegro has earned the great honor of beingrecognized as Enfield’s Teacher of the Year. Mr. Allegro teaches Social Studies at EHS and is known for his engaginglessons, charismatic personality, and commitment to all students.
This year Mr. Allegro helped implement one of our mostpopular new courses, “Community Action,” where students acted outside of theclassroom to raise money for charities and build awareness about community issues. His students selected causes such asVeterans’ issues and a local children’s hospital. Mr. Allegro’s class was organized so that hisstudents designed and carried out a class project. This class was an incredible example of bothauthentic and student-centered learning. While he is outstanding in the classroom, Mr. Allegro also helps promotecivic engagement after school hours through his leadership role in our town’sYouth Vote program. Additionally, heworked with his Social Studies colleagues to bring a “civil discourse” event toEHS where students from a variety of schools worked on how to discusscontroversial topics in respectful and productive ways. Furthermore, Tony servedas a member on the Diversity Task Force where he works collaboratively withcolleagues to improve equity in our school. He is a founding advisor of a Diversity Club for students and organizedevents to promote cultural awareness at EHS. Mr. Allegro is also a beloved soccer coach at EHS who teaches hisathletes the value of community service and led his players to conduct a “cleansweep” project to pick up garbage around the school campus and “beautify” ourschool grounds. Mr. Allegro is highlyrespected by students and colleagues and we are very proud that he willrepresent Enfield High School as Enfield’s Teacher of the Year.
On behalf of all the staff at EHS, we wish all our studentsand families a safe and relaxing summer.
Sincerely,
Ms. Clark
