Here are the top stories in Bedford today: Bedford High School Makes Top Five: Congratulations Bedford High School! Bedford was ranked in the top five of The 25 Best Public High Schools in New Hampshire. With more than 24,000 public high schools in the United States, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, education is a high priority for students and parents. Out of thousands of public schools, Stacker compiled a list of The 25 Best Public High Schools in New Hampshire using rankings from Niche that evaluated U.S. high schools based on everything from academic excellence and grades to parent and student surveys on overall experiences, teachers, cultural diversity, clubs and activities, health, safety, resources and facilities, and sports. Bedford High School received an A rating, ranking fifth. The number one spot went to Hanover High School, which received an A+ rating. Congratulations to the high schools that made the top 25 list this year. (The Laconia Daily Sun)Unusually Bright Comet: The brightest comet of the year arrived in the Northern Hemisphere on Tuesday and is visible just before sunrise. The best time to see Comet Leonard is between 5 and 5:30 a.m. with binoculars or a telescope. Look east, to the left, and below the red star Arcturus. How do you find Arcturus? Astronomers say to trace an arc from the handle of the Big Dipper and look for the red star. Comet Leonard will be lower on the horizon after Tuesday, Dec. 7. It will be closest to Earth on Dec. 12, when it will also start to appear just after sunset. The best evening to look for the comet is after sunset starting Dec. 17. (WMUR)Proposed Millyard Sign Controversial: If you drive from Bedford on I-293 through Manchester, you may have noticed the former red Oracle sign on top of the building. Now that Oracle has closed the Manchester office, the Millyard building owner Carlisle Capital Corporation proposed a new sign saying "150 Dow" in red block letters, but The Manchester Heritage Commission opposed the proposal. One member noted that no other businesses use the building address as a sign and thought it could set an unwanted precedent. Millyard buildings like SNHU and Geneia have rooftop signs, but Heritage Commission Chairman Kevin McCue questioned if a sign was needed in that location. According to a previous article in the Union Leader, Mark Graham, vice president and chief financial officer for Carlisle Capital, said the company is looking to brand the building and the sign would be permanent. The commission asked Carlisle Capital to present a different proposal at the next meeting on Dec. 28.
