We are committed to preparing the workforce of tomorrow by expanding internship and career opportunities. Recently, our interim Superintendent Jason DeFalco, Principal Stephen Sierpina and Career Specialist Jacqueline Coyle shared insights from a student survey regarding future aspirations at a Marlborough Economic Development Corporation meeting.

At each location, current students and staff shared their experiences, providing valuable insights and guidance on the transition to high school.

MHS Latin students and 8th graders at the Whitcomb School gathered to pay their respects after Uncle Titus met an unfortunate fate, slipping at the baths and breaking his hip. The atmosphere was a mix of reverence and celebration as they held a grand funeral procession complete with a tibicen, filling the air with mournful melodies. Hired mourners and relatives donned imagines (elaborate masks of ancestors), creating an immersive experience of Roman custom. The highlight of the ceremony was Cornelius's poignant laudatio (eulogy), honoring Uncle Titus before his cremation.
Each year, our Latin IV class performs a unique Roman celebration, and after this remarkable event, we can't wait for what they have in store for next year!
