Commissioner & Board of Education Visit! Commissioner & Board of Education Visit!

We were so proud to host the Massachusetts Commissioner and Board of Elementary and Secondary Education at our school on Tuesday for their monthly board meeting. A group of 6th grade Ambassadors greeted visitors at the door, and provided a tour of our school garden prior to the meeting. At the start of the meeting, we invited the HRHS Chamber Singers to share a selection - which was just beautiful (note the 3 talented ATD alums in the group!).


The Board acknowledged ATD's history of strong academic performance on MCAS, as well as our work to reduce our rates of chronic absenteeism in the past few years. We are so proud of our school community!
