Show runs through Saturday a Merrimack High School's Little Theatre.
Don’t expect the Walt Disney version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" when the Merrimack High School Theatre Department's production opens Thursday.

Merrimack seniors given dose of reality ahead of prom/graduation season.
Students in Merrimack High School's Class of 2013 spent much of their Wednesday participating in a half-day event designed to remind them that decisions they make, especially bad ones, can have lasting, damaging effects. This was the message passed to them repeatedly during the program, which started with a re-enactment of a fatal car crash at the tennis courts on O'Gara Drive, and continued with a short memorial service for the classmate of theirs "fatally-wounded" in the mock accident, Mia Mitchell, and a trial for the driver – Brenden Holt. "I keep saying it's an accident, but it's not, because people make choices," Assistant Principal Peter Bergeron told students in his address at the beginning of the event. Bergeron said it's never …

Merrimack's top skaters accepting Tomahawks as a contender, says Mithoefer.
Kurt Mithoefer was a freshman in 1998, the first year Merrimack competed in New Hampshire high school hockey. That inaugural season, in fact, MHS played only at the junior varsity level. Though Mithoefer said the team made the playoffs as a varsity squad his senior year, in 2002, the eight campaigns that followed weren't pretty. The Tomahawks became a perennial cellar dweller, essentially serving as an annual 'W' on the Division II schedule for the likes of Bow, Dover, Goffstown and Spaulding, teams typically among the Division II elite. That was, of course, until Mithoefer returned to Merrimack as head coach prior to the 2010-'11 season. Merrimack has made the playoffs each year since, twice clinching the D-II top seed, and Mithoefer said…

Merrimack and Bedford met in the state championship game in Manchester on Saturday.
MANCHESTER – For both schools, it was a welcome matchup. For the top-seeded Merrimack High School ice hockey team, it was a chance at revenge against a neighboring rival who had ruined its otherwise undefeated campaign with back-to-back setbacks to end the regular season. For No. 3 Bedford, the contest presented an opportunity to earn a second-straight championship against a team the Bulldogs had proven they could beat. And aside from a tilted second period – in which BHS scored three goals to take a 3-1 lead into the third – the game lived up to the hype. At the end of 45 hard-fought minutes by both sides, it was Bedford, with a 5-2 victory, that maintained the Division II throne. Read a detailed recap of the contest here, and browse …
