Career Fair and Social Media Presentation
On Wednesday, February 8th, BMHS will host our annual Career
Exploration Day from 8:30 am-10:30 am.
Please see the schedule below. This year, we have arranged for every
student to visit the Career Fair, while at the same time ensuring that every
B-Day class block will meet. We
currently have forty presenters who will highlight careers in various disciplines,
and teachers have volunteered to man tables at the fair to promote their
classes. If you wish to promote your classes at the Career Fair, please email
me and we will add you to our list.
Each grade will be allotted 1 hour at the fair and 1 hour at a
presentation on cyber safety, given by social media expert Detective Jennifer
Frank of the Windsor, Vermont police department. Detective Frank will present on how to be
safe in the age of Facebook and other similar sites, which gather information that
can be easily obtained and put to illicit or dangerous use. Detective Frank presented here several years
ago, and her dynamic style of delivery captivated the audience!

Student Spotlight
Alumni in the News
Sachin Gupta, a member of the Class of 2000, was an exceptional
math student and member of our cross country and track teams. He always wanted
to find a way to leverage his love of math and athletics. Upon graduating from
BMHS, Sachin earned his BA from M.I.T before joining the rank of new employees
at ESPN. For anyone that enjoys the world of fantasy sports leagues, finding
the right application to evaluate talent and gain an edge on your competition
is never easy. Sachin created the ESPN Trade Machine, which was quickly
heralded by fantasy team owners as well as NBA General Managers. His software
success and passion for sports found him working for the Houston Rockets and
later as the Vice President of Basketball Operations for the Philadelphia
76'ers. There is a nice article detailing Sachin's success that is attached
below. Aside from being a wonderful young man, Sachin found a way to bring his
two loves - math and sports - together to create an impact in the NBA. Maybe
someday soon he will come home and help the other Green and White team in
Boston bring home Banner #18.
