Have a great summer! - Principal O. Johnston
Time has certainly passed quickly as we now find ourselves at the end of the school year. Congratulations to both students and staff for the completion of this school year, while also working to merge two different school communities together! Thank you to our students and families who supported the BCLA-McCormack community this year. With what we have accomplished this year, such as the establishment of a student government at each campus and the launch our early college program with UMass Boston in the 10th grade, we are excited to think about what our future has in store. We are excited about the school we are building together and the increased participation from all stakeholders (students, families, staff, and partners). We look forward to the return of our students in the Fall, with continued partnership from our families, as we work to create new opportunities to help our students become college and career ready.

SUMMER PROGRAMS
Boston Public Schools will be hosting a wide variety of SUMMER PROGRAMS ranging from camps and activities for younger students to credit-bearing/recovery options for grades 9-12. Our school’s Hyde Park campus will host a summer learning program from July 10 - August 11. Ms. Olinka Briceno (fbriceno@bostonpublicschools.org) is the site coordinator for summer school. Students in grades 9-12 whose school counselor registered them for summer school due to a failed a course this year or in the past, are encouraged to take advantage of this credit recovery option so as not to fall behind in graduation requirements!
