Dear NBPS Families, Staff, and Students,This morning, on the one-year anniversary of his sudden passing, our school community paused for a moment of silence to remember and honor our longtime colleague, teacher, and friend, Damian Sarrette. Damian began his career at North Brookfield High School in the fall of 1999, dedicating more than 26 years to our students, staff, and community. Throughout his time at North Brookfield, he wore many hats: ELA teacher, class advisor, National Honor Society advisor, coach, club advisor, union president, and mentor to countless new teachers. Yet, perhaps his most meaningful role was that of a trusted adult, someone students could turn to for guidance, encouragement, support, or simply someone who would listen.
