Here's what people say...

This history of Staples High School is really the history of education in suburban America. The book chronicles the growth and importance of education in one town, yet it is as readable as a good novel – replete with drama and mystery.
– Dr. Gerald Kuroghlian, Connecticut Teacher of the Year finalist

An extraordinary tour de force -- amazingly well organized, beautifully written, and an inspiration and source of pride for all who have had any contact, at any point, with Staples High School.
– Dave Harrison, former social studies instructor

120 Years of A+ Education magnificently preserves the story of Westport’s ‘town jewel’ for many generations to come.

Dan's history of Staples got me through two of the longest flights I've ever taken. I love the book! What a job Dan did of capturing the essence of all those years and events. It was like watching a movie about my life at Staples -- so many people and so many experiences!
