Coach Curtin Field

Congratulations to recently retired Math Teacher and Baseball Coach Mr. Curtin.  Yesterday, Dr. Conti, Mr. Murphy, and Mr. Gillis formally renamed Francis Wyman Field as Coach Jim Curtin Field.  Mr. Curtin was joined by family, friends, and players yesterday as the field was unveiled.  52 years and 612 wins is most impressive.  It was a great day all around as the baseball team continued their impressive season with a 9-3 win over Wakefield.
