Haverhill High School students not only welcome diversity, but introduced a framework last Thursday night for multicultural changes to learning materials.
The Haverhill School Committee heard from high school student leaders who presented ideas for creating greater diversity in the school’s curriculum
Haverhill High School Student Council Vice President Rebecca Hamel said students began working last summer on a plan to bring greater representation of minority groups, women and others who are often left out of traditional teaching programs.
“Not only do we want students to learn about other cultures, but we want them to be able to learn about themselves. We feel as though focusing on more cultures will bring so much benefit and so we want all scholars in this district to feel heard and seen and that starts with representation within the classroom,” she said.

Recent automobile collisions with a Route 125 restaurant have captured the attention of Haverhill City Councilor Mary Ellen Daly O’Brien.
O’Brien, who once lived near the intersection where the crashes have occurred, is asking to discuss the matter at tonight’s Haverhill City Council meeting.

John Nazaretian.
John Nazaretian, 77, of Atkinson, N.H., passed away peacefully on Friday, Feb. 19, at High Pointe Hospice House in Haverhill just after being diagnosed with leukemia a week earlier.
John was born on June 14, 1943, the son of the late John and Virginia J. (Antaramian) Nazaretian. His father died defending freedom in World War II when John was just an infant. Little “Johnny” was the darling of his loving grandfather, aunts and uncles and the apple of his mother s eye!
He was a man who combined the rare gift having both a high I.Q., able to remember incredible details and high E. Q. Joking and putting people at ease with his humor and friendly manner.
