Our entire school community has been deeply affected this week by the recent passing of our Director of School Counseling, Dan Casey. We extend our condolences to the Casey family, and all students, staff, and Teachers, who are working through this difficult time. Mr. Casey dedicated himself to Scituate Middle/High School for the past five years, first as a school counselor before taking on a bigger role as our Director of School Counseling. He was also our head wrestling coach and played a crucial role in building our program up to where it is today. Mr. Casey connected with nearly every student in our school in some way. In a school community as close-knit as ours, his loss will continue to be deeply felt.
Please know that we are doing everything we can to support students, families, and the entire Scituate community with additional resources and counseling during this time, and we encourage anyone who has been affected by this news to reach out to support services, including those available through our schools.

Students in US History II Honors had the opportunity to speak to Tom Mellor, son of Don Mellor, a World War II veteran, who passed away this past June. Students were enthralled by his stories of the Pacific Theater and important life lessons. They also had the opportunity to read a primary source, his father‘s journal, before Tom came to speak to the class. Students had poignant questions regarding different elements of the journal. Tom Mellor was very impressed with the students here at Scituate!
