Principal Johnson is the first feature in a four-part series profiling Wheaton-area high school principals.
As another school year is upon us, Patch sat down with four Wheaton-area high school principals to find out what they did during their summer vacations and their outlooks on the 2011-12 school year. Patch: What was the most fun thing you did on your summer vacation? Principal Henry Johnson: I travel to my favorite spot in the Dominican Republic every year for rest and relaxation. Cabarete, Dominican Republic, is a wonderful and peaceful town where the people are friendly and welcoming. It also gives me an opportunity to brush up on my Spanish, since over 40% of my student population is Latino. Patch: What is the most challenging thing about the start of a new school year? H.J: The greatest challenge for us was getting all of our teachers…

One thing remains a constant in the Montgomery County Public Library (MCPL) system: change. New books replace old books, new readers get their first library card, new programs and educational events refresh outdated ones--and even the staff, ensuring that you can find whatever you seek amongst the stacks--changes. But recently, MCPL instituted some staff changes that will bring back two familiar faces back to the Wheaton Regional Library: Library Manager, Dianne Whitaker and Senior Librarian, Daniel Beavin. Today, Patch sits down to catch up with "new/old" Wheaton Library staffer, Daniel Beavin. Patch: You've staffed/managed a number of libraries in your 25-year tenure in the MCPL system, including a previous stint with Wheaton-- please …

"The Green Violinist” and her band will play contemporary hits and original music this Friday as part of the Urban District’s summer concert series.
Chelsey Green received her first violin when she was four years old. After a chance meeting with a concert violinist at a copy store, Green’s mother arranged lessons for her then five-year-old daughter with that musician. With many relatives performing in the jazz and funk scenes, Green’s mother wanted a classical musician in the family. Green says, “I never felt pushed by my family into music. They provided me with the opportunities and I loved it.” Green has studied the violin for more than 20 years. However, she put that instrument down for many years while she exclusively focused on the viola in college and graduate school. She continues her formal studies of the viola at the University of Maryland, starting the third year of a …
