jm , Mrs Patricia Havey Mrs Donna Kenny Mrs Paulette Brace Miss Ellen Grant Mrs Linda Kreuzwieser Miss Laura Parker Mr. Stephen Flanagan Miss Nicole Schingh Mr Mike Coleman Mr Michael Sheehan NMHS Welcomes New Teachers New Milford High School welcomed ten new teachers to its faculty this year. The general concensus of these teachers was that the administration, staff, and students made their first year at NMHS an enjoyable one. Mrs. Kenny, a new Spanish teacher, found her students cooperative and eager to learn and the other teachers easy to get along with although, because the school is so large, it was hard to get to know the teachers in the other departments. Mrs. Havey, another new Spanish teacher, also found the faculty and her students cooperative, as well as nice.'' One of the new teachers in the Math Department, Miss Grant, stated that she had an advantage over many of the other new teachers in that she is a former graduate of NMHS and knows most of the staff members and the school itself already and added that everyone has given her a tremendous amount of support Prior to this year, Mrs. Brace taught at Schaghticoke and said everyone made her transition a smooth one and said she especially enjoyed the students' school spirit. Mrs. Kreuzwieser commented that the faculty and staff have made her first year at NMHS go as smoothly as possible and added that she is desperately in need of a desk to go to more than twice a day! When asked how he liked life at NMHS. the sole addition to the History Department, Mr Flanagan, cheerfully replied that he really enjoyed the year. One of the new science teachers, Miss Schingh, taught for one year in Kenya, Africa She found the faculty a pleasure to work with, but found the facilities overcrowded. Miss Parker was glad to find the faculty friendly and cooperative She also found the students to be well-behaved and down to earth. Before coming to NMHS, Mr. Coleman taught one year in Brookfield. He enjoyed the student body and the faculty. Finally, the newest addition to the English Department, Mr. Sheehan, was very happy at NMHS and was pleased with the way that the faculty, students, and administration helped make his first year of teaching an enjoyable one. NMHS is glad to have these new teachers and looks forward to continued success with them in the future.
