Thoreau said "If the bell rings, why should we run?" I appreciate the philosophy behind this, but I also have a schedule, and if you want to see it, you can click on Henry.

  I'm well into my third decade of teaching at CCHS now. After graduating from Trinity College in Connecticut, I got my Masters degree at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, and spent three years teaching English in Pelham, New York. I left teaching in 1970 for a lengthy "sabbatical" spent mostly in bookselling (managing the Harvard Book Store in Cambridge), editing (Houghton Mifflin) and being a literary agent. I came to CCHS to teach one course for one semester in the fall of 1985, almost immediately found myself teaching full-time, and have very happily been here ever since. My wife, Christopher Jane Corkery, is a poet and a teacher at Holy Cross. We moved to Concord from Dorchester in 1994, and have proudly watched our two sons, Patrick (class of 2002) and Eamonn (class of 2005), graduate from CCHS.
