This week has been productive. Students met with guidance counselors and administration to review their transcripts and make course selections for next year. For more on the process, please see the Program of Studies located on our website. Anyone needing additional guidance is encouraged to contact their school counselor for a scheduling appointment. Please understand that we will do our best to honor every student's requests, but not every class is offered each period, so some trade-offs will need to be made.

Next week is another busy one. Most pressing, sophomores with be taking MCAS math exams on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Our Student Government went above and beyond this year! To show their appreciation, the students created personalized thank you posters for each staff member. See more about this incredible act of kindness below.

We hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!

Sincerely,

Gail DeCecco, Principal

To celebrate our faculty and staff, Student Government members worked incredibly hard to make sure each staff member felt appreciated for the work that they do all year with individualized posters. The student body shared their favorite memories, learning experiences, and mentorships they've had throughout the years to be included on the posters. Each poster was a unique representation of the way the staff shapes their high school experience. Students also brought in delicious desserts for the faculty to enjoy.

The staff appreciates the efforts of Marina DePalo, Ella Damon, Meredith Foley, Maddie Kelley, Angelina Cabral, Morgan Randall, Meaghan O'Connell, McKenna Garcia, Andrew DaCruz, Kate DiSanto, Aaron Prata,Gabrielle Ready, Natasha Ponte, Wren Seccareccia, Kylie Mirra, Mason Morgado, Victoria Landry, Lily Charlonne, Lorelei Kellum, Spencer Jones, Caraline Corvi, Michael Kelleher, Jonah Hebda, Haliegh Kelley, McKayla West, James Czech, Penny Braga, Hailey McCracken, Emma Mullen, Ella Rosa, Ava Morgado, Gia Papa, Julia Mello, Ainsley Zibrida, Isabella Bouchard, Maggie Kazanjian, Riley Kazanjian, and Isabelle Rego.
