Do you have a old car you’d like to get rid of? If so, then Concord teen Theo Randall would like to have a chat.
Theo, a student at Phillips Academy in Andover, and six other students who attend Concord-Carlisle Regional High School, are joining Second Chance Cars as volunteers, looking to collect unwanted cars and donate them to SCC’s cause.
SCC mobilizes low-income Massachusetts veterans, as well as returning citizens and healthcare workers, through affordable car ownership so they may access living-wage jobs and improve their quality of life.
“There was a survey done a couple of years ago at CCHS of the seniors who were graduating that year,” Theo said. “The survey found out that somewhere around half of all the seniors actually owned a car or used a car that was considered theirs, and they didn’t have any plans for it after they graduated.”

According to Principal Michael Mastrullo, a student placed an inappropriate racial image on a presentation accessible and visible to all students in that class. Our school communities at Concord Carlisle High School and Concord Public Schools remain steadfast in our zero-tolerance policy for acts of hatred, racism, discrimination, and bigotry,” he wrote on his blog. “We condemn all expressions of hate regardless of intent or the medium utilized.”
On her blog, Superintendent Laurie Hunter wrote the district has been active in its continued work in anti-racism and cultural competency.
