Laker Nation is always looking to collaborate with the community to engage students in authentic, real world experiences. In addition to internships, we hold a biannual Career Day and we invite in guest speakers to share insight. This week, we had the pleasure of inviting Tim Curran, Insider for NBC Sports Boston, covering the New England Patriots & NFL, to our ARHS SportsCenter class taught by Mr. Macek. Mr. Curran shared his day-to-day career and how he rose to his dream job to the class of sports fans and aspiring sports journalists.
Coming soon in Criminal Law and Leadership:
Mr. Solomon will provide the authentic touch this month through the presentations of a RI Police Lieutenant and Dispatcher, and with the visit from MA Congressman of the 4th District, Jake Auchincloss.
Thank you to your school community for providing these opportunities to our students and to our community leaders willing to inspire and coach our Lakers!
