Nice letter to the editor in today's paper from Zachary Durkin, the class president of Dracut High School's Class of 2013. In his letter, he advocates for the renovation of Dracut High School:
As a student body leader at Dracut High School, I know I can speak for most of my peers and say that a new high school is not a luxury, but a necessity. Day in and day out I have walked the halls of Dracut High, and have sat in the classes where windows don't open, there aren't enough desks, the heat doesn't turn on, and there is a lack of basic technology. Overall, it is an environment not fit for learning. Not only are the students at Dracut High competing with other students throughout the commonwealth and the nation, but also globally. Students in Europe and China have the upper hand when it comes to the use of technology in the classroom, and the skills needed for careers in the growing 21st century.
Also, with new facilities, Dracut students will have new, valuable resources that will help them continue to flourish in athletics, academics and the fine arts.
A "yes" vote on May 2 will ensure that the students of Dracut High School will be provided with a much-needed and deserved modern school that will allow them to become a force to be reckoned with in the global job market.
The talented faculty can only do so much for their students with the limited resources and space they are provided. Just think of the boundless opportunities this renovation will bring to the students and our community. Dracut students are counting on you, please don't let us down!
ZACHARY DURKIN, President
DHS Class of 2013
Nice to see students getting involved in their town.
