        On March 22, English teacher Jennifer Rosenzweig received a letter from Superintendent Paul Fried stating that he was following Principal Mark Orfinger’s recommendation to deny her tenure. The letter cited a lack of instructional focus as a primary reason for this decision. If Rosenzweig is denied tenure at the School Board meeting on May 4, she will be terminated on June 30 as her contract expires.

After the overwhelming storm on March 13, the Town of Mamaroneck as well as many other towns in the county were devastated after winds reaching 70 mph toppled dozens of trees and power lines. In the aftermath, over 1,000 homes were without electricity, and fallen trees blocked multiple roads.

On April 21, every MHS freshman, sophomore and junior attended an Alcohol Awareness assembly. The keynote speaker was Mark Sterner, a man whose life completely changed when he killed his three best friends in a drunk-driving accident during his senior year of college. Sterner spoke at the high school two years ago, and Helene Fremder, the school social worker, organized the recent assembly to better inform all of the students of the dangers of drunk driving.
