New principal Bert O' Hearn, who was vice-principal at Acton High more than 10 years ago, said he is impressed with the ¢alibre of students at the school. O'Hearn talked about the nature of scholarships and that it is not divorced from real life, and that the scholars who are produced in schools go on to do great things. "They perform surgery and they create works of art and they build bridges. Scholars are not ivory tower people at all. They are the doers, movers and shakers in our society," O' Hearn said.
