Bristol Aggie’s Emma Duarte works hard on - and off - the field- Click here for the article in the Taunton Gazette
By Steve Sanchez-Gazette Sports Editor
DIGHTON - Bristol-Aggie student athlete Emma Duarte epitomizes the words “hard work.”
The junior co-captain for the Chieftains’ softball team is the catalyst for the unbeaten 9-0 Aggie squad. Duarte recently slugged her first home run of the season against St. John Paul II. Last season, Duarte batted .458 with 29 stolen bases and 27 RBI.
Duarte, a three-year varsity player, works at least 12 hours a week — twice a week before school at 5:30 a.m. — in the barns at Bristol Aggie milking cows and feeding the animals (which include sheep, chickens, pigs). She keeps the barns clean, maintains the grounds, tends to the small animal center, which includes mice, reptiles, birds and rabbits.
She has a GPA of 4.1 and is member of National Honor Society, a member of the Vet Science Academic Team, a member of the student council and a Freshman Orientation leader.
Duarte is also a member of the Mass Dynamites Showcase softball team.
The Taunton Daily Gazette caught up with Duarte and asked her a few questions to get to know her better.

PTO Celebrates Teacher Appreciation Week: Everyday this week, we were reminded how thankful we are for our PTO. Each morning, goodies were inserted in teacher’s mailboxes and on Wednesday, the PTO dedicated their time to serve our staff. This is a prime example of the close family at Bristol Aggie. We truly appreciate our PTO and appreciate your support of our staff. THANK YOU
In the Classroom:
- MCAS Bootcamp: Students working hard with Mr. Higgins at Math MCAS Bootcamp
- Math: Sidney Palermo putting in extra math time after school with Mrs. Ciolfi
- Animal Science: On Wednesday, Ms. Gagne took her large animal science students on a field trip to the Providence Mounted Command stable. Students learned what it takes for the horses, as well as the officers, to be part of the mounted command unit.
Flori:
Flori students have had a busy week! Students worked on 24 arrangements for the FFA banquet, a small party and prom centerpieces. Students also worked on their personal prom flowers creating bouquets, corsages and boutineers! 
Landscape:
This week Sophomore Landscape students worked on installing new plantings along Center Street.
- ELA: Here is Mrs. Noel's junior English class working on a 3-2-1 worksheet. The students pick a New York Times Upfront magazine article (cite the source using MLA format) and then fill out a chart with 3 things they discovered, 2 interesting things, and 1 question they still have. Articles cover many different topics which help our students keep up with current events. The junior class keeps mornings interesting and makes any small worksheet such as this a fun activity. ( by Bridget Peacock, Class of 2019)
Juniors, Jacquelyn Lema and Lily Berube cheerfully choose their article.
Mrs. Noel’s juniors find a balance between excellent task focus (reading and analyzing informational text) and classroom camaraderie.
Student Services:
