Welcome to our Masconomet School Committee Blog

  • This blog is a vehicle through which we foster awareness of MSC topics, information, progress and resources for deeper learning. After each school committee meeting, we post meeting highlights and summary notes. We also post district highlights, updates, and community events.

    We intend to continuously connect our actions with the district vision. The school committee's focus is on vision, mission, policy, budget, superintendent oversight, and advocacy. We balance the needs of our many stakeholders, and monitor progress toward goals.

    To stay updated, follow us on the Masco App or follow us on Facebook.  Many thanks for your support!

    If you have questions please contact our Committee Chair.

  • Small Town Hero Awards 2023

    Posted by MSC on 6/15/2023
    Congratulations to the recipients of 2023 Small Town Hero Award!
     
    Special thanks to the Student Council for their work in coordinating this unique event! Nominations collected online were shared with student clubs, who could then opt to select one to be recognized for their contributions. 
     
    This was the third annual Small Town Heroes Award ceremony, which began during the pandemic as a way to foster community by elevating people working to lift others -- a celebration of compassion and connection.  
     
    "The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." - Coretta Scott King
