Dear Community,
The countdown is on! On Wednesday we officially wrapped up our final MCAS administration of the year. This time it was science. Our ninth graders did us proud. They showed up in impressive numbers and worked diligently. I'm expecting good outcomes on this one.
As I mentioned last week, students should really be focused on preparing to finish strong. This includes checking in with teachers about missing assignments or assessments as well as preparing for final exams. Next Friday, June 19th, is the first day of final exams for students in grades 10 and 11. It is a review day for students in grade 9. All students will be released at noon. Lunch will be served. Please follow this link for the full final exam schedule.
Lastly, you're young scholar will be bringing home a letter from the superintendent today. The letter identifies a very strong and passionate educator, Emily Bozeman, to replace me on an interim basis as headmaster next year. News on these things travels fast, but if you did not know, I accepted a position as Deputy Superintendent in the City of Lynn.
This was a tough decision! The Brighton High School community has been extremely good to
me. In a short time, I have developed strong relationships with my students, their families and
staff alike. In many ways, Brighton is home - and it is hard to leave home. That said, the
opportunity in Lynn allows me to continue to push hard for deserving students and families, but
on a broader scale. This particular decision, albeit untimely, reflects the right challenge in the
right place.
No matter what, know that your student is in very good hands with a capable and committed faculty and staff along with the skillful leadership of Ms. Bozeman. BHS will march on!
Best,
Dr. T
P.S. A reminder: School IS in session on June 17th.
