Students say Beau Flahive brings energy, compassion and skill to her work as a music teacher at Northampton High School. Here she leads The Northamptones in a rehearsal.

A job well done: Beau Flahive applauds The Northamptones, Northampton High School’s a capella group, after they wrapped a recent rehearsal outside the building by doing Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
