ATTENTION JUNIORS AND SENIORS!
Medfield High School is happy to welcome back Chris Herren who will visit MHS on February 10th to speak to the 11th and 12th graders. An extraordinary basketball player, Chris Herren was a celebrated star in his native Fall River, MA before graduating high school. He went on to play at Boston College and Fresno State, two seasons in the NBA – including one with his hometown team, the Boston Celtics – and seven seasons overseas before losing it all to the disease of addiction. With the unwavering support of his family and friends, Chris has been sober since August 1, 2008, and he now shares his story with the goal of making a positive difference in the lives of others. Thank you to the Medfield PTO for making this presentation possible!

Jostens set the original baby-ad deadline as January 31 and then kindly offered an extension until February 6 at midnight. That new deadline has since passed...no exceptions at this point due to a very tight production schedule. However, there is still time to order a copy of the MHS yearbook online. If you haven't already, click on this link: BUY A YEARBOOK. Thanks in advance for your support!
