Today's Southbridge Evening News carries a "Sound Off" addressing an issue that was brought to my attention prior to its publication in that forum.


Where was SouthbridgeHigh?
SOUNDOFF:
OnWednesday evening, Oct. 3, the annual “High School Night” for current grade 8students was held at Trinity Catholic Academy in Southbridge.
Thisevent brings many area public and private high school representatives to Trinitystudents and parents with information about their institutions. 
Forthe past five years Southbridge High School has been a part of this event. Theformer principal, guidance counselors, curriculum coordinators, and current SHSstudents have consistently attended, with hopes of recruiting local andschool-choice students. Last year both the valedictorian and salutatorian fromthe Southbridge High graduating class were Trinity alumni.
Itwas unfortunate that Southbridge High School did not participate at this year’sprogram. Apparently this is one of the many drawbacks when administration andguidance have no connection to the community.
I have several emails regarding this matter. The mostrelevant is one from SMHS principal Tammy Perreault responding to a TrinityCatholic Academy parent inquiring about the absence by SMHS personnel from theevent.
In that email, Ms. Perreault states, “I received nophone calls, no emails and no letters... nor did my staff. I would say that'smore reflective of others rather than SMHS.”
I think it is fair to say that somebody“has some ‘splainin’ to do.”
