Dear Mansfield Families,
As we head into the weekend, I want to share a few highlights that celebrate the learning, talents, and accomplishments of our students and staff.
Professional Development Day
On Tuesday, our staff participated in a districtwide Professional Development Day, providing valuable time for collaboration, professional learning, and continued work toward our district goals. These opportunities allow our educators to learn from one another, strengthen instructional practices, and focus on ways to support the academic and social-emotional growth of all students.
Honoring Our Veterans
As we approach Veterans Day, we are proud to recognize and thank the many veterans who have served our country. Our Mansfield High School Band will participate in the Veterans Day Parade, helping our community honor those who have served.
On Thursday, students from Laura Brophy's MHS choir performed at the Veterans Breakfast at the Council on Aging. What a wonderful opportunity for our students to share their talents while showing appreciation for our local veterans!
QMS Drama Presents Around the World in 80 Days
Best of luck to our talented QMS drama students as they present Around the World in 80 Days tonight in the QMS Auditorium! We are excited to see their hard work and creativity come to life on stage.
A Special Guest Reader!
I had the pleasure of being a guest reader in Mrs. Fitzgerald's last week, and was so impressed with their knowledge and curiosity! Opportunities like these help foster a love of reading while strengthening the connections that make our school communities so special.
Congratulations to MHS Football!
Congratulations to our Mansfield High School Football team on last night's victory over Malden Catholic High School! With this exciting win, the Hornets advance to the next round of the playoffs. We are proud of our student-athletes and coaches and wish them continued success. Go Hornets!
MHS Marching Band Featured in National Country Music Tour Announcement!
We have some exciting news to share about our Mansfield High School Marching Band!
Earlier this fall, our Marching Band had the opportunity to participate in a special project connected to country music artist Riley Green. As part of the announcement for his 2027 tour, high school bands from across the country were invited to learn and perform his music.
This unique opportunity allowed our students to showcase their musical talents while participating in a national tour announcement. We are incredibly proud of our students and staff for representing Mansfield High School so well!
Even more exciting, when Riley Green performs at the Xfinity Center next summer, $1 from every ticket sold for the Xfinity Center concert will be donated to Mansfield High School as a thank-you for our band's participation in the project.
We are grateful for this generous gesture and thrilled that our students had the opportunity to be part of something so special.

Have a wonderful weekend!
