Welcome to Dr. Crowley's teacher website.

Updated on 1-29-2020.

I want to thank NHS sophomore Marissa Cataldo for honoring me by letting me wear her Mustang Varsity Hockey #24 jersey during the King Philip game on Sunday 1/19/2020 at the Bajko Rink. Each year the Varsity Girls Hockey Team hosts a Teacher Appreciation event where each player will honor a staff member by asking them to wear their jersey during the game. Marissa is the center for the 1st Line of the Varsity Girls hockey team, and she represents the very best of Norwood student-athletes! Thanks again for this honor, Marissa!

Dr. Crowley would like to congratulate all of the teams on a fantastic Technology Olympics, 2019!

Special thanks to all the teachers and students who came out to support our amazing NHS Engineering students!

Special recognition goes to the team of Chris Bellande, James Gamel, and Stephan Petithomme--their rover set a new All-Time School Record, using a mere 18 milliwatts of power in completing the 1-mile course!

For tomorrow morning, the forecast is calling for an early shower around 7 AM, then clearing, so we are a "go"  for the Period 3 2019 Technology Olympics at Norwood High School from 9:50 am to 10:50 am. We hope to see you there!

Harvey Leonard is calling for overcast skies on Wednesday 5/15/19, with some breaks of sun, so we are a "go" for the Period 2 Technology Olympics for tomorrow, beginning at 1:22pm right at the front door of Norwood High School (Door #1). We hope to see you there!  

Dr. Crowley

I would like to invite you to the Period 2, 2019 Technology Olympics to be held at Norwood High School on Wednesday May 15th, 2019, from 1:22 pm to 2:23 pm (weather permitting).

 

The Period 3, 2019 Technology Olympics will be held at Norwood High School on Monday May 20th, 2019, from 9:50 am to 10:50 am (weather permitting).

 

As part of the annual Technology Olympics at Norwood High School, Engineering students are required to build a vehicle with multiple independent guidance systems, capable of navigating through a one-mile outdoor course, while maintaining continuous forward progress. The vehicle that completes this course, while using the least amount of power, will win this event. Rover vehicles designed by Honors-Level Engineering students must also include an “on-the-fly” transmission capable of switching between gear ratios used to produce both Torque and Speed.

 

I realize that it may not be possible to get here due to work schedules, but I do want to make sure you are aware of the date and time of this event, in case you can attend.  

 

Please note that I will update this website with weather updates, in case the weather is questionable that morning. I suggest checking this website at 7am on the day of the event, then again as we get closer to the start of the event.

 

The 2018-2019 school year was a very exciting year for the Engineering and Robotics Program at Norwood High School. This year included a fantastic, interdisciplinary capstone project, in addition to exciting community events.  Thank you once again, for your support.

 

If you can attend, please meet us out on the rotary by Victoria Circle (located next to Norwood High School).

 

Thank you.

Dr. Crowley
