YARMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL

Great first student day at YHS! Go Clippers!

As we are close to the opening day of classes, we are also starting our fall sports regular season this week. We looking forward to YHS continuing the tradition of strong fan support for our teams providing a boost for our athletes and coaches. Our athletic venues should be difficult places for visiting teams to compete because of our overwhelming positive fan support for the Clippers. This is also an opportunity to demonstrate two of our core values: being respectful by showing such positive support for our teams and being responsible by reading and following the expectations in the YHS Fan Section in the student handbook. Go Clippers!

Another outstanding day with YHS staff. We focused on questioning strategies and also had some fun! Go Clippers!

Day one with staff is in the books! Great first day. #GoClippers

YHS staff are in the house, checking out the student handbook and hearing from Student Senate about changes to our laptop practices. Go Clippers!

Good morning. Yarmouth High School, Frank Harrison Middle School, and Yarmouth Elementary School are each without power at this time. Work crews are on site in Yarmouth to restore electricity soon, and schools are operating with some minor adjustments. We’ll let you know when power is restored. These outages have also disabled our phones and Internet. Thank you for your patience.

Yarmouth Speech & Debate flourished at the Maine State Championship this weekend! They won the Congressional Sportsmanship Award for the second year in a row, and placed 2nd overall in Congressional Sweeps! Additionally, Maddy Corson became the third Yarmouth debater in four years to win the Robert Hoy Excellence in Congress Scholarship. In individual chambers, Maddy won first in Senate (her third tournament in a row taking away the very top spot in Maine Congressional Debate, and her fourth time doing so this season). Also in Senate, Sebastien Martínez placed fourth despite having switched in from House the very night before. Rounding out Yarmouth’s rankings, Joshua Leinwand nabbed third in his House chamber. Meanwhile, for his impressive efforts in his first year of speech and debate, Julius Sawhney has earned the National Speech and Debate Association’s Degree of Honor. Since this event was also the Congressional qualifying tournament for the National Catholic Forensic League’s annual national tournament, Maddy’s win has earned her a spot at the NCFL National Tournament for the second time in as many years! She is invited to Washington DC over Memorial Day Weekend to compete against the very best Congressional Debaters from around the country. Thanks to their performances, Sebastien and Joshua are both alternates for the same tournament. The last Congressional Debate tournament of the season is March 5th’s Maine District Qualifiers for the NSDA’s own national tournament, which will take place across an entire week in mid-June and is expected to be held in Louisville, Kentucky. Only six Yarmouth students will be able to compete. Currently, five of the slots have been filled by Maddy Corson, Joshua Leinwand, Hope Cady, Georgia Herr, and Sebastien Martínez, with one spot remaining to be doled out. Wish ‘em luck!
