Mr. Holloway’s East Hampton High School Senior Creative Writing Class recently met (on Zoom) with members of the East Hampton Senior Center for a wonderful writing workshop, run by Elizabeth Thomas. It offered an amazing community-building, creative writing opportunity. We followed up the next week, May 20th, with personal writing and sharing of perspectives.

May 27th culminated in a live poetry reading open to family guests, where our groups of “Seniors” presented a variety of writings from this semester of learning. The participants rose to the occasion and provided layers of beautiful language, full of introspection and the love of nature.

The selected writing prompts urged writers to expand on a myriad of technical and critical thinking skills. Participants enjoyed the process and build-up of ideas, which led to sharing and insight. What an enjoyable series of experiences for all!

Please take a moment to read this important announcement regarding changes to the Counseling Caseloads for 2021-2022 School Year.

The EHHS School Counselors are excited to announce that beginning this fall 2021, we will be redistributing caseloads. We believe that this shift will allow our counselors to foster stronger relationships with students throughout their 4 years of high school.

Distributions are listed below-

• Our current juniors, Class of 2022 will remain with your counselors for next year- completing your four years with Mrs. Catlin (A-K) or Ms. Malcolm (L-Z).

• Mrs. Sullivan will have students A-D in grades 9-11
• Mrs. Catlin will have students E-L in grades 9-11
• Ms. Malcolm will have students M – Z in grades 9-11

We genuinely feel that this is in the best interest of our students and families moving forward.
