By Addy Barber – Social Media Editor in Chief

Jonathan Law Principal Mr. Darcy is excited about his third year at Law. Social Media Editor-in-Chief Addy Barber interviewed Darcy about the 2024-2025 school year.

Addy Barber: What are you looking forward to most about this school year?

Mr. Darcy: I’m looking forward to supporting every student who attends JLHS to the best of my abilities. 

AB:  What are your thoughts on the new teachers this school year?

MD: We had some great educators retire last year after serving Milford Public Schools, but I’m really excited about our new staff as well. They are wonderful educators and people.

AB: Any advice for the incoming freshmen this year?

MD: My advice to the 9th graders is to get involved in all the clubs, activities and events we have to offer our students. Don’t wait until Junior or Senior year, get involved now. 

AB: Any advice for this year’s seniors?

MD: My advice to the senior class is to take time throughout the year to connect with each other and staff who’ve had a positive impact on your life during your time here at Law because sadly, it’s only months away from ending. 

AB: What does it mean to you to be a Lawman?

MD: Being a Lawman means that you are here to support each and every person who you come across. You are kind and supportive to all.

AB: Are there any changes you are hoping to see this year?

MD: I wouldn’t necessarily say changes, but I’m just looking for every student to feel valued, heard and respected each day.

AB: What are some special events you are excited about this year?

MD: All of them! I love seeing our students at athletic events, musicals, plays, dances….. you name it, I love it!

AB: How did your first couple years as principal go and are you looking to change anything personally this year?

MD: I believe they went very well and we are in a good place. Our school is well run and our staff is second to none. I’d like to continue to make positive connections with students and the Milford Community so we can increase our internship programs and other community-based groups/events. 

AB: What is your favorite part of the beginning of the school year?

MD: Honestly, my favorite part has been catching up with students. I love just sitting with students and talking about their summers, their hopes for the year and their futures. 

AB: How was your summer?

MD: My summer was great. I was able to go to our house in Narragansett for two weeks. We spend every summer there. I also went to Jamaica with my wife and a few friends.
