Bella Wong, the interim superintendent/principal at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, writes a column for the L-S website called Bella’s Corner. Recently she told readers about the wide variety of student goings-on during one week at the high school, including appearances at several regional competitions in areas including a capella singing, foreign languages, and ocean science quiz and Ocean Quiz Bowls, a flamenco and Spanish classical guitar concert, and post-season boys’ and girls’ hockey, to name just a few:
I have just come away from listening to Christina Agapakis, LS ’02, address an auditorium full of our students on the dichotomy of art and science, synthetic and biology, from her perspective as a scientist working with bacteria.

Both alum speakers were truly inspirational and models of individuals who have pursued their passions across multiple modalities for a cohesive productive end while further forwarding notions of social responsibility. What great outcomes for these LS grads! How does that all happen?
