Mission Statement
The Masconomet School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) works to promote and protect the health, wellness, and safety of all students. The Council works in collaboration with Tri-Town Council, Tri-Town School Union, our families, and our community partners to collect and analyze data. Based on the conclusions drawn, SHAC advises all interested shareholders by providing information, making recommendations for new or revised policies, and suggesting additional programming in order to enhance existing school curricula and services.

The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Model
SHAC uses the Whole Child Framework as the basis for setting goals and objectives to improve the health and learning of all our students. This model incorporates the tenets of the ASCD's whole child approach. Research demonstrates the health of students is linked to their sense of belonging, membership, and academic achievement. Using this model, schools, health agencies, parents, and communities share the common goal of supporting wellness for every student and its impact on the academic achievement of adolescents.
