Bronco Bulletin

Keefe Tech is finishing the year strong. This month's Bulletin includes everything you need to know as we head into the final stretch: important dates and details for the Class of 2026, updates from our counseling team on college planning and testing, academic reminders, and highlights from our Career and Technical programs including the Horticulture shop's annual Spring Plant Sale. Let's wrap up the year strong, Broncos.

Hello Keefe Tech students and families!

Happy May! As we close out Teacher and Nurse Appreciation Week, we want to give a special thanks to our educators and nurses for all they do for students!

On Monday, the School Committee approved the 2026-2027 school calendar. A copy was emailed out and it is also available on our school website.

As we enter one of the busiest times in the school year, I want to pass along some reminders about important events we have on our school calendar.

First up is the Math MCAS, scheduled for May 19 & 20. Students in grade 10 will have a regular school day and need to bring their fully charged chromebook. All students in grades 9, 11 & 12 (only seniors still needing to attend), have a late arrival and need to be at Keefe Tech by 10:35am. Good luck to our testing grade 10 students!

Grade 12 end of the year events are here! Please see below for a list of dates and time for senior events. Two important reminders to all grade 12 students and families:

• Graduation is outdoors, and while mostly under tents, it is partially weather dependent. One year we had to use the rain date due to the threat of a thunderstorm. Please reserve both dates for the event. We make every effort to hold graduation on the date planned, but we cannot be under the tents if there is a chance of thunder or lightning.

• Dress: While we appreciate and value students' backgrounds, personalities, styles and future plans, the Keefe Tech graduation is a formal commencement ceremony. Attire for graduation must be fitting of the tone of the ceremony and highlight students' membership in their school and class rather than underscore their personal preferences. As such, only Keefe Tech issued cords, sashes and other additions to their gowns will be permitted. Please do not purchase or wear outside decorations for your gown - they will not be permitted.

Have a great weekend!

The countdown is on for the Class of 2026. Here are the key dates and details you need to know.

Dental Assisting Sophomore students took a hands-on look at their favorite snacks, measuring just how much sugar is really inside. From candy like Nerds and fruit snacks to yogurt-covered raisins, dried fruit and juice drinks, students broke down the sugar content and compared it to what they expected. Using real measurements, they were able to see just how quickly sugar adds up—even in items that seem like healthier choices.

The activity brought nutrition concepts to life in a fun and eye-opening way, helping students better understand what they’re consuming every day.

Seniors and sophomores attended the dedication ceremony for the Fallen Firefighters Memorial at FFD headquarters.

Information Technology students put their skills into action by building computers from the ground up, gaining hands-on experience with hardware, troubleshooting and system setup. The project gave students a deeper understanding of how computer systems function while strengthening the technical skills used in today’s technology careers.

The Junior HVACR class just completed training on elevated work platforms. This certification is good for several years and will allow them to work on scissor lifts here at the school and out in the "real world" on co-op or after graduation. These types of lifts are found at job sites and institutions more now than ever before. Lifts are safer than ladders and offer greater flexibility to reach difficult locations. Knowing how to safely operate this equipment is a highly beneficial skill.

Keefe Tech students welcomed guests from Claire Bridge Memory Care in Framingham this week, providing complimentary manicures as part of a special visit. The visit gave students the opportunity to practice their skills while creating a welcoming and enjoyable experience for community members. It was a wonderful example of hands-on learning, service and connection in action.

To connect with your school counselor, complete an appointment request form, stop by the counseling office, or reach out by phone or email.

A limited number of SAT and ACT test dates remain this spring. Visit SAT dates or ACT dates to register. Our school code is 220854.

Congratulations to all of our competitors. See you in Atlanta!

On May 4, members of the Keefe Tech Interact Club joined Keep Framingham Beautiful for the Farm Pond Spring Clean-Up. Students spent the afternoon giving back to the community, helping care for a shared space that so many in Framingham enjoy. Thank you to Keep Framingham Beautiful for organizing and including our students!

The Keefe Tech Drama Company hosted its first-ever Annual Theater Awards, recognizing 25 students for their achievements and contributions throughout the year. The evening also included the induction of eight new members into the International Thespian Society, the awarding of three varsity letters in theater and the presentation of graduation cords to Thespian seniors.

Students also got an exciting preview of next year’s season: Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic in the fall and Mean Girls Jr. in the spring. Congratulations to the Drama Company on another successful year!
