Joey Conway is being recognized by the Metta Students Foundation for collecting donations to benefit The Tomorrow Fund and Coventry Food Bank at his popular Christmas light display in Western Coventry.
Kind, generous and caring are the words used by many to describe Coventry High School senior Joseph Conway. Each holiday season, the 18-year-old creates a winter wonderland of Christmas lights, figurines and music at his family's home in Western Coventry - a project that he begins planning for shortly after New Year's Day. Apart from spreading holiday cheer throughout his neighborhood, for the past three years, he has been using the display to collect non-perishable items for the Coventry Food Bank, and this past winter added The Tomorrow Fund as a beneficiary, also. “My light display consists of 33,000 lights. My main reason for putting up the display is seeing the kids smile,” said Conway. It is that spirit and dedication that made …

Principal Mike Hobin was the Guest of Honor at a surprise ceremony on Friday morning.
On Friday morning, Coventry High School Principal Michael Hobin rushed to the school gymnasium after being told there was an urgent situation there and he was needed. This was completely true, but not at all what he expected. The entire student body and faculty, school district officials, and members of the Coventry Police Department, along with Hobin's wife, Susan, and several family members welcomed him with thunderous applause. The reception was well-deserved as Executive Director Patricia A. Hines and her colleagues at the Rhode Island Association of School Principals (RIASP), recently selected Hobin to be named 2013 RI High School Principal of the Year. The decision followed a March 14 visit to CHS from a RIASP selection committee …

Coventry High School's principal has been chosen for the honor by the Rhode Island Association of School Principals Board of Directors.
Writing his “Friday Focus” memo to his faculty each week, for his faculty’s professional growth, Principal Michael Hobin highlights excerpts from his own reading of current educational best practices. He also recognizes one or more teachers who have made an exceptional difference in student learning that week. This positive acknowledgement and professional leadership have served to build strong relationships within this large high school. So, too, Mr. Hobin works consistently to provide opportunities for faculty and staff to become leaders within the school. By encouraging everyone to gain as much professional development training as possible and by permitting risk-taking, Mr. Hobin has promoted an environment of collegiality, …
