Exeter Mom Fights for School Dances

Peggy Massicotte did not give much thought to whether Exeter schools had dances until her kids were old enough to attend one.

Now, she is campaigning for SAU 16 to allow Exeter High School to hold its first homecoming dance since 2015, when dances were banned due to what then-superintendent Mike Morgan called ‘inappropriate student behavior.’

Massicotte, who moved with her young children to Exeter the year before, said local kids are missing out on a healthy social activity because of the actions of a prior class.
