On Friday, we hosted our annual Unified Game Day, a district-wide event celebrating inclusion and teamwork, at Marlborough High School. Students with disabilities and their unified partners tested their skills in various games and activities, including shot put and long jump.

From running events to cheering on our unified athletes, we loved seeing our volunteers and staff in action. Because of you, our students, with and without disabilities, showed us how to #PlayUnified and took home not only medals but also priceless memories.

The last month of school is filled with wonderful opportunities to honor our seniors. From signing each other's yearbooks at senior breakfast to the proud moments of receiving their cords and stoles at senior award night, and the nostalgia of revisiting their elementary and middle schools during their senior walk, these experiences create lasting memories and celebrate their journey.

All these events culminate in a significant milestone for our seniors: graduation. We look forward to celebrating the remarkable Class of 2026 alongside our dedicated staff, faculty and families — whose steadfast support has guided them to this remarkable achievement — at our graduation ceremony on Sunday, June 7 at 10 a.m. at Noble Field.

The countdown to summer is on at Richer Elementary School and across our district, and we are making the final weeks of school count!

As we approach the exciting end of the year, the staff and faculty at Richer School are focusing on academics and assessments while creating lasting memories for our students. On Wednesday, they brought together students from the highest and lowest grade levels for a group photo to commemorate one of the last times they will all be in the same building together.

We are incredibly proud of our fifth-grade students for their dedication and for inspiring our younger learners to continue growing and learning. Best of luck to all our students moving up next year! We can't wait to see the wonderful things the future has in store for them.

On April 2, Marlborough High School sent 41 students to the 4th Annual Metro South/West Trade and Construction Expo, bringing the total to over 600. The event remains a valuable opportunity for our students to gain career exposure, engage in hands-on learning, and network!

One standout moment was a full-circle story involving a Marlborough High School alumna from the Class of 2025, Maria. Last year, as a senior, she attended the Expo and connected with Winter Properties, a real estate company hosting a table. With support and partnership from MHS and Youth Connections, she secured a summer internship after graduation.

Since then, Maria has been interning with Winter Properties for nearly a year while taking online business administration classes at Nichols College. She’s gained hands-on experience in real estate while also working as a manager at Ulta. At this year’s Expo, we unexpectedly saw Maria again—but this time, she was behind the table representing Winter Properties and speaking with our current MHS seniors about opportunities in the field. It was a powerful example of how career exposure and networking can truly open doors for students. She is now preparing to take her real estate exam this May.

Let’s all congratulate Maria and wish her the best of luck on her test!

April vacation was a time to relax and recharge, and for some students, it was an opportunity to reengage in their learning at our Attendance Academy.

At the academy, students rotated through four teachers. They participated in interactive activities designed to build skills for the remainder of their high school careers and beyond, while earning credit for four days of attendance. Activities included researching and participating in a debate of their choice, practicing public speaking, playing financial literacy bingo and creating an attendance and wellness action plan.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the MHS Attendance Academy staff for their ongoing commitment and support of our students!

We are incredibly proud of the Marlborough High School Robotics Team X^2, consisting of seniors Atul Modur, Anderson Lopez Castillo, Edgar Xante Gomez, junior Maggie Morrissey and coach Kyle Mager. They competed in the VEX Robotics World Championships held from April 20-24 in St. Louis, MO. This season, over 25,000 teams participated in 3,300 tournaments across more than 50 countries, leading up to this event, with only the top 860 teams qualifying to compete at the World Championships.

Team X^2 entered the competition as significant underdogs, operating on a shoestring budget. They faced off against many private schools and organizations that had dozens of corporate sponsors, six-figure budgets and paid coaching staff.

Throughout the first three days of qualification matches, they held their ground and overcame numerous challenges, achieving an impressive 8-5-1 record and earning additional points for their autonomous wins. As a result, they secured a spot in the single-elimination round on the final day, placing in the top 32 teams of their division.

Ranked 20th, they selected an alliance partner from Mexico, another underdog team, with whom they had developed a bond during the previous matches and through previous online interactions. Together, they entered the competition as the 14th seed, facing the 3rd seed, a team from China and their alliance partner from Pennsylvania. In a thrilling match marked by outstanding teamwork and last-second heroics, they achieved a remarkable upset, advancing past this powerhouse alliance.

Their journey continued into the quarterfinals, where their Cinderella story came to a close in a very close match against two teams from California.

There is so much pride to take in for these students and their coach. This experience was truly world-class, providing them with invaluable confidence and lessons in technical skills, teamwork and culture that will serve them well in all their future endeavors. Go Panthers!

In March, our OneGoal junior cohort and a group of students from the Accelerated Learning Academy/METAS participated in a field trip to Worcester.

Their first stop was Assumption University, where the students attended an information session followed by a campus tour and lunch in the dining hall. During lunch, they spontaneously met Hunter Correia, a Marlborough High School Class of 2025 graduate, who shared his experiences at the university and highlighted the incredible support available to Assumption students.

Next, the group visited Quinsigamond Community College, where they toured the campus and met with the Office of Transfer and Articulation Services. This meeting provided valuable insights into the benefits and applicability of both Early College and community college credits. Additionally, the OneGoal students who are currently enrolled in a First-Year Experience course at QCC received their photo IDs during the visit, allowing them to take advantage of college student discounts.

We are grateful to our MHS guidance counselors and the entire staff who planned and chaperoned these events, allowing our students to explore their post-graduation options.
