Recent graduates came to the Celebration to share their experiences and successes, which they achieved in their post-secondary education and careers due to their participation in the KHS Career Pathway Pro- gram. We then inducted fourteen alumni into the first ever Career Pathway Hall of Fame. The alumni, who were chosen by their Career Pathway teachers, have completed their post-secondary education and/or acquired a job in their career pathway field. The successes these alumni have experienced since graduating KHS were very inspiring. Michael Herklots, a 1998 KHS graduate and a 2002 graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston was recognized as an Honorary Career Pathway Hall of Famer for his successful career and for supporting his alma mater, Killingly High School. Michael Herklots is truly an inspirational alumnus and motivational speaker! He has inspired our KHS students and alumni to not only strive to be their best, but to give back in any way they can to their school. One 2009 KHS alumnus, who has a degree in Nursing, was so inspired by the Celebration and Michael Herklots, that she wants to go back to school to become a teacher and help reinstate the Al- lied Health Pathway at KHS in the near future. Another, alumnus from the class of 2011, stated that he would like to follow in Michael Herklots footsteps and hold fundraisers to help support the Learning for Life Fund as well. We would like to thank all the donors for supporting the students at KHS through the financial contri- butions to the Learning for Life Fund, job shadows, mentoring or advice.

Killingly High School held its annual Career Pathway Celebration on Tuesday, May 21st beginning at 5PM with a KHS small ensemble concert, the KHS student Art Show and dinner. The Celebration started with a processional into the auditorium by the 75 students who have completed one or more of the 22 Career Pathways offered at Killingly High School. Killingly High School Career Pathways give students the opportunity to earn free college credit while in high school, develop leadership skills, explore careers and lead students in the direction of their personal and

professional goals. Students must take a series of courses including math, technology, communication, science as well as courses within their specific career path to be considered a Career Pathway Com-pleter. All 75 KHS students were recognized at the celebration with a certificate and anecdotes of their successes in the Career Pathway Program. Students will be given a Career Pathway medallion and will be recognized at graduation.

A new addition to the celebration was the participation of KHS Career Pathway Alumni. Recent graduates came to the Celebration to share their experiences and successes, which they achieved in their post-secondary education and careers due to their participation in the KHS Career Pathway Pro-gram. We then inducted fourteen alumni into the first ever Career Pathway Hall of Fame. The alumni, who were chosen by their Career Pathway teachers, have completed their post-secondary education and/or acquired a job in their career pathway field. The successes these alumni have experienced since graduating KHS were very inspiring. Michael Herklots, a 1998 KHS graduate and a 2002 graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston was recognized as an Honorary Career Pathway Hall of Famer for his successful career and for supporting his alma mater, Killingly High School.

Michael Herklots is truly an inspirational alumnus and motivational speaker! He has inspired our KHS students and alumni to not only strive to be their best, but to give back in any way they can to their school.

This year's efforts set a new record for the amount raised at my annual birthday events. $85,000 topped last year by $10,000 and has brought our total since 2005 to over $330,000. This past May at the Career Path-ways Celebration, I sat in awe as I watched student after student receive the due recognition for their incredi-ble achievements within the Pathways programs. Your generosity is changing the lives of my hometown's young people. If you have not had the opportunity, please go to YouTube and search for the "KillinglyHighTV" channel and watch the "Career Pathways Highlight". It's important for you to see first hand, the return on your investment. There simply aren't words to express how grateful I am, and how grateful the students, their fami-lies and the community is for your support. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and look forward to see-ing you all soon.

Career Pathways

Information Technologies Jacqueline Brooks

On May 13, 2013 a group of upperclassmen Computer Programming students participated in a job shadow at the Connecticut Center of Advanced Technologies in Hartford. The trip to CCAT was hosted by Derek Lemery and Greg Bugbee, both are KHS Alumni. The CT Center of Advanced Technologies is a non-profit company that develops and implements technology in local schools, libraries, businesses, and towns. CCAT has introduced “Virtual Desktops” into the Business Department at KHS. These desktops allow all computers to communicate with a main server in Hartford, accessing all software programs from one location. This eliminates the need for computer towers in the classroom and opens up the students’ workspace. CCAT takes pride in keep-ing costs low and maintaining high technological efficiency. Derek Lemery, Network Administrator for the Hartford Public Librar-ies gave the students a tour of their main facility. The students also saw the daily operations and all aspects of Mr. Lemery’s position. The students found the trip insightful and a great hands-on learning experience. Many of the students hope to pursue a career in IT when graduating from Killingly. We look forward to returning next spring with another group of students!

The video technology department had another successful year punctuated by an award winning trip to California and the Student Television Network Convention where students Tum Tum Souriyamath and Sean Comtois took fourth place nationally in The Spot Feature competition. Students in Video Technology Department also completed professional vid-eos for local businesses this year including the Eastern CT Association of Realtors and Put-nam Dance Studio. Looking ahead to next year there will be some changes in the Video Technology Pathway. In an effort to target students interests the Video Technology Path-way will split into two distinct pathways. The first pathway Broadcast TV will have more of a studio production and news focus with the culminating year long course Broadcast

Journalism being the anchoring course in the pathway. The new Film Production Pathway will take on more of a field production focus but will include everything from story development to script writing all the way to film distribution. The Film Production Pathway will also feature a new course to help fill the need for more film focused classes. Documentary Film Production will be a semester long course that will help students to develop their storytelling skills through the creative medium of documentary films. Students will work mostly in small groups to develop, shoot and edit short documen-taries covering a wide range of topics. The culminating course for this pathway will be the now year long Film Production Course where the emphasize will be on creative movie shorts. The hope in splitting the pathway is that more students will have the opportunity to not only get involved in the Video Technology department but also with a greater focus and concentration than was previously available depending on a students particular inter-ests.

May is a month when teachers and students of KHS celebrate the accomplishments of all the students who took the opportunity to create art during the year. The artwork is displayed in the annual art show in May and the unique creativity of our young people is impressive. The artwork that was created piece-by-piece and day-by-day finally displayed together in an abundant collection of work represents the breadth of our students. The work displayed is from our A students, our D students, our quiet students, our boisterous ones, our college-bound students, our freshmen, our seniors, our talented high achievers, and our strug-gling achievers. Their thoughtful artwork marks this time in their lives that links childhood with maturity. It is gratifying to see their personally meaningful work and the pride they take in their creative efforts. Each year is a fresh glimpse into the creative potential Killingly’s young people.

This years art show included over 1000 works! The artwork was created as a result of both classroom studio time as well as the ability to bring students out on field trips for photography purposes as well as for observation drawing, photo taking for graphic design and digital imaging purposes.

Arts & Communications - Journalism Dick Martin

Journalism enjoyed another great year, producing six issues (including two double issues) of The Redline this year. Senior Editor-in-Chief Nicole Durand was particularly instrumental in ensuring that issues were completed in a timely manner, despite numerous internet problems and unex-pected cancellations in the middle of production. The class as a whole pulled together quite well as a team to overcome obstacles.

At the end of the year, students were asked what they enjoyed the most about journalism. Stu-dents’ responses included “working as a team,” “working in a friendly, cooperative environment,”

and “doing something that is real,” among other responses.

One of the highlights of the year was first year journalism student Justin Martin being recognized for his writing talent in the prestigious Connecticut Young Writers Competition. Martin, a sophomore, sub-mitted a short story about a day in the life of a teenager, involving drugs and alcohol, which was cho-sen as one out of ten from hundreds of entries from across the state. The ceremony took place on June 9 at Central Connecticut State University with guest speakers Dick Allen, Poet Laureate of Connecticut and Alice Mattison, an author who resides in Connecticut. Two years ago, Durand’s poetry entry was selected for recognition at the competition.

Arts & Communications - Theatre Arts Rachel Lacy

The Killingly High School Drama production of “You Can’t Take It With You” was yet another success. The 1930’s comedy writ-ten by Moss Hart and George Kaufman is a Pulitzer Prize Award winning play, and always a crowd pleaser. Under the direc-tion of Rachel Lacy the students put on on a very professional comedy to the audiences delight. The production opened Thurs-day, February 28 and ran through to a Sunday matinee March 3rd. All performances were well attended by the student body and community. Superintendent Kevin Farr was most praiseworthy by sending an all staff email reporting that “This was the BEST high school/college production I have ever seen!”

Noteworthy performances were recognized many students and staff as well. After a sneak preview held the day of the open-ing performance, there was a meet and greet with the cast after Act 1. During the question and answer time, top questions went to Alex Mason for his Russsian accent. Mike Gleason playing the lead as Grandpa was asked how he could memorize all his lines!

At the underclassmen awards assembly, Mrs. Lacy presented the Drama Department awards to the following performers:

Arts & Communications - Music Jeff Either

Well, it has certainly been a very busy Spring for the music department once again. Our students have participated in annual events, given wonderful annual performances, and participated and excelled in new events. Our larger ensem-bles held their annual spring concerts and dazzled the audiences this spring. Again this year, our KPS music department combined forces to put on grade 7-12 concerts in the areas of Jazz (May 2), Chorus (Spring Sing on May 15), and Band (Spring Concert on May 17). These performances were well-attended and very successful featuring KIS and KHS performing ensembles separately and combined!

The KHS Music Department also enjoyed some concert performance success with smaller groups and solo performers at the annual Coffeehouse concert on April 25 and the Small Ensembles concert, which was coordinated with the Career Pathways celebration on May 21. The students truly shined in both of these performances. In addition, the Memorial Day Parades were once again a huge success in Dayville and Danielson thanks in part to the KHS Big Red Marching Band.

Our music department, once again, participated in the annual Relay for Life events at the Woodstock Fairgrounds rais-ing funds as Team Footnotes for the fight against Cancer.

KHS Music also participated in some performance festivals this year, including some new events. Both of our percussion ensembles performed at the Percussive Arts Society’s 13th Annual Day of Percussion at URI on March 9. Both groups performed extremely well and received excellent ratings from the panel of judges. The Symphonic Band performed in the RIMEA Band Festival held at Warwick Vets High School for the first time this year. The Band performed beautifully and were evaluated by three professional judges. They received and Excellent rating for their performance. Further-more, our KHS Jazz Band and J.I.V.E. performed at the Berklee Jazz Festival this year on March 2 in Boston for the first time in many years. This was an incredible experience for all of the students, directors and chaperones. The groups performed extremely well and represented Killingly with pride, class and musicianship!

Congratulations to all of our student musicians for their tremendous accomplishments throughout the course of the 2012-13 school year. A special congratulations goes out to our magnificent senior class. We have been lucky to share in your many successes musically over the course of your high school careers. You will be missed here at Killingly High School, but we know you move forward filled with musical talent, pride and dignity. Best of luck in your very bright futures!

Education & Human Development Martha Goldstein-Schultz

The QVCC Early Childhood Education students have worked with their "Book Buddies" from the Preschool Head Start throughout the 2012-2013 school year. They have designed lessons and activities with themes of Math & Science skills, Exercise & Nutrition, Spring Science and Literacy concepts. The ECE students have learned how to adjust their lessons to the young children's needs, interests and abilities. This has been a great year of collaboration for all students and "teachers-in-training!"

The UCONN HDFS Students presented their research studies at the University of Connecticut Early College Experience Conference on April 2, 2013. Human Development & Family Studies undergraduate students and faculty were the in-tended audience for their presentations. HDFS Professors and students were impressed by the Killingly High School stu-dent's hard work and professionalism in conducting and presenting their own research. The presentation topics ranged from Sexual Orienation & Friendships to Cultural Attitudes about Rape in Young Adulthood to Attachment in Relation-ships. The top presenters were Casey Robillard, Jen LaFountain, Jordan Provost, Ashley Inthelauxy, Rachell Basley and Cheyenne Perron. Every student was outstanding in discussing their research findings with students and faculty! Casey Robillard and Jen LaFountain earned the "Honorable Mention" Award for their study of 80 participants on Attachment and Relationships. I am so proud of the UCONN HDFS students for their accomplishments in the research field.

Construction & Industrial Design Todd Zagurski & James Hutson

This year in the in the Technology Education Pathways (Architecture and Construction/Design and Engineering) students competed in multiple state and national competitions. Our student chapter of the HBA - Home Builders Association com-peted in the Residential Construction Management Competition and placed 4th national in the high school class. These students worked tirelessly to not only finish the task, but also raised over $12,000 including a supplement from learning for life. This allowed 6 students and 2 chaperones to go to Las Vegas at no expense. The HBA student chapter also built a 12’ x 20’ shed for a customer. This is the largest shed ever built by any class at KHS.

Students in our Killingly High School TSA (Technology Student Association) competed in multiple competitions at this years CT State TSA Conference including technology competitions in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering- 3D Design, Ar-chitectural Engineering Design, Debating Technological Issues, Technology Problem Solving and SeaPerch Underwater Robotics. This is our first year our school has been involved and students earned multiple 1st and 2nd place finishes. This qualifies students to attend the National TSA Conference in Orlando, Fla. from June 28th to July 2nd. We will be sending 3 students and 1 Advisor through fundraising and a generous supplement from Learning For Life – Career Paths Grant. KHS TSA students, Allen Perron, Matt Lawton, and PJ Ferraro will be representing CT at the National TSA Con-ference in Robotics, Technology Problem Solving, Prepared Speech, Extemporaneous Speech and Dragster Design. They will be competing against students from all over the United States, Germany, Scotland United Kingdom and other students from abroad. There is an estimated 4,500 students attending this year’s conference. We are extremely proud of our KHS TSA members and are looking forward to an outstanding year in 2013-2014!

A Practical Classroom

Students in the Accounting Career Pathway have the opportunity to apply their accounting knowl-edge while working independently through a manual accounting simulation. The Accounting 1 pro-ject takes approximately 7 hours to complete and requires students to use all of their accounting knowledge to prepare financial statements for a small sole proprietorship. The Accounting 2 pro-ject is far more in depth and takes approximately 20 hours to complete the accounting cycle for a merchandising business set up as a corporation. These practical simulations provide students with real-world practice in performing basic accounting procedures.

A New Technique

Students in the Business Communication classes used the Socratic Seminar method to review an article from Fast Company Magazine about their generation known as the Millennials. The teacher acted as a facilitator while the students engaged in a mature discussion centered around the article that they read and annotated. While students found the technique difficult at first, this method allowed students to learn in a very different format from the traditional style where the teacher lectures.

Business Management Pathway

This was an exciting year in business management due to forming a partnership with Danielson Surplus. Our management team for the school store, The RED ZONE, met with Warren Rosenberg in the beginning of the school year to partner to produce cus-tomized clothing and gear for the school store. Our students chose the clothing including hooded sweatshirts, dri-fit t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts, that could have any team name heat pressed on them. We were also able to customize each garment with names and numbers. This was very popular amongst our students. This partnership allowed us to keep less inventory, and offer more variety for our customers. Next school year, we will be bringing in a new class and our focus will be on creating an on-line school store with PayPal. This will be an exciting addition for us to reach our alumni base.

Personal Finance Pathway

Our two classes of Personal Finance participated this year in the NEFE High School Finan-cial Planning Program which enhances the financial literacy of youth. The 6 modules pro-vided our students a strong financial foundation as they move on to college and the workplace. We were also fortunate to have guest speakers from Gerardi Insurance, Jo-seph Beaudreault, Jay Long, and Eric Quinn to talk about financial planning, commercial insurance, and personal insurance. The Personal Finance Simulation software provided our students the opportunity to create an avatar, and create a life where they had to manage their time, apply for jobs, attend classes, balance a budget, use banking ser-vices, and invest money. This hands-on simulation was very engaging for our students.

For the first time ever, Killingly High School hosted an annual gathering of FFA members from around the state for a single day at the FFA convention on June 1. This event, primarily for the FFA members, their teachers, and their parents, used the first two floors of the high school to host the expected 500 FFA students and 200 parents.

"We really wanted to showcase Killingly’s beautiful facilities and show the rest of the state that we know how to put on a great convention," says Killingly’s Aquaculture teacher, Mr. Couture.

The event schedule was packed for the entire day. It began with a greeting and opening session led by Mr. Rockett, the KHS principal, and superintendent Mr. Farr. Throughout the day there were also workshops led by State FFA officers and one of the National FFA officers, Wiley Bailey from Alabama. Additionally students competed in several Career Development Events (CDEs). The State FFA Alumni sponsored a career show and a silent auction during the day. Mean-while, several committee meetings occurred, and a new State Officer team was elected. Among those elected to state offices were KHS 2012 grads Katie Molodich as vice president and Heather Slattery as secretary.

Finally, FFA members were recognized for their accomplishments in the CDEs throughout the school year, proficiency awards and scholarships were given out, and 145 FFA members were awarded the highest degree that the state can give, the State FFA Degree. At the afternoon awards session Senator Donald Williams was the keynote speaker.

The convention required a lot of planning and work which began last August. However, Mr. Couture notes that things really moved into high gear over the past three months. The cost of the event was not a heavy burden on our school’s department though, as it was covered by the State FFA organization and the registration fees for each chapter and member attending.

"This was an opportunity that will not happen again for many years," adds Couture. "We have many members of our own Parents & Alumni Association helping out as well."

The FFA also thanks the Killingly Public Schools administration and the High School’s administration and staff in particular for their help, understanding, and support of the event, noting that it was what allowed the event to happen at all, and the East Killingly VFW for helping with the honor guard flag presentation at the event.

"This is the first time Killingly High School has ever hosted this in 75 years," adds Couture. "We made a good impression at the convention. The chapter students were raving about it. We had a ton of alumni come here to help and we relied heavily on the chapter students to help out and assist. We knocked it out of the ball park pretty much. There were over 600 people that attended."

Job Shadow Coordinators

The Job Shadow Program at Killingly High School is part of our career exploration in the Career Center. Job Shadows offer the opportunity to explore a career they are interested in prior to pursuing a career in post-secondary train-ing/education. Students spend time with a professional currently working in a particular career. Students get a sense of the requirements of the career, the work environment, tasks, skills and knowledge required for that career. Students get their questions answered and are able to make an educated and informed decision about their choice of a career. We offer in-house group, on site group and on site individual job shadows. Each year the KHS Career Center, with the support of local businesses and individuals, support nearly 350 students as they explore careers. We would like to thank all the individuals and business who have impacted the lives of so many of our students as they graduated and pursued their careers.
