Meet WHS’s Newest Principal: Mr. D’Amico!

You’ve probably seen him around the school already, chatting with students, meeting with teachers, and speaking at assemblies. Since Dr. Robert O’Donnell retired in June of 2026, someone new has come to fill his shoes. Mr. James D’Amico, WHS‘s newest principal, has been putting in overtime to get to know our school. It’s only fair, then, that we have a chance to get to know him, too.

Developers are asking Stamford to rezone a parking lot at the north end of the former Lord & Taylor building, 110 High Ridge Road, from residential use to commercial.

‘People who make history are often our own neighbors’

MONROE, Conn. — Edward Soderberg, of Easton, found himself in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, but the young aviator wasn’t aware of the dangerous 13-day-standoff between the U.S. and the Soviet Union at the time of his mission: flying his de Havilland L-20 Beaver in an elliptical pattern, while staying close to Miami. Soderberg had asked the reason for his mission, but his superior told him it was on a “need to know basis” and he didn’t need to know.

2026 Junior Formal Moves to Westchester Manor

Junior Formal has always been an opportunity for students to dress up and socialize with one another. In the past, it has always taken place in the Cochran gym. This year, however, student advocacy has resulted in a change of location to Westchester Manor. Kevin Ruffler, the junior class advisor, explained how there were various groups and meetings involved with the location change; he explained that he “met with the student representatives in June who ultimately decided to bring this issue up for a vote with the grade,” and later “spoke with parents for two hours in June to discuss the possibility of moving Junior Formal.” Ruffler continued to explain parental involvement in the decision, saying how “parents felt strongly about their ideas” but “the meeting ended on very good terms with everyone agreeing that we would respect the decision that the junior class made.” There was then a vote where the junior class could decide whether they wanted to keep the event in the gym or move it off-campus. The idea of promoting student autonomy was expanded upon by the creation of the Junior Formal Theme Committee, run by Student Council President Kai Ghalib. Namely, this new student initiative is “designed to brainstorm ideas for the theme,” and is “open to any junior who wants to share their ideas and join the discussion.” Ghalib shared that the committee recently decided on three options: Great Gatsby/Roaring 20’s, Enchanted Forest, and Ancient Greece.
