“We are incredibly proud of these students,” said Mr. Paul Neal, Head of School at Madison Park Technical Vocational High School. “Earning a high school diploma and an associate degree at the same time is no small feat. These young scholars have shown what is possible when opportunity meets preparation.”

"The RoxMAPP Early College program at Madison Park is truly transformative,” said Superintendent Mary Skipper. “It provides students with an invaluable head start on their post-secondary education, equipping them with both academic knowledge and practical career skills. This integrated approach not only reduces the financial burden of college but also ensures our graduates are exceptionally well-prepared for the workforce or continued higher education."

The RoxMAPP Early College program enables Madison Park students to earn college credits while still in high school, accelerating their path to college and career success. This milestone not only reflects their hard work but also the power of partnerships between Boston Public Schools and Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) to expand access and equity in higher education.

“This program is about access, equity, and belief in our students’ potential,” said Taneka DeGrace, Assistant Head of School at Madison Park and RoxMAPP Program Director. “Our RoxMAPP scholars have embraced the challenge, shown resilience, and earned degrees that will shape their future. They are walking proof that early college works and we’re just getting started.”

“It’s an extreme honor to work with Ms. Taneka DeGrace and her RoxMAPP Early College Program at Madison Park Technical Vocational High School to create opportunities for students to earn college-level credits and potentially an associate degree prior to graduating high school,” said Steve Prudent, Director of High School Partnerships & Pathways at BHCC. “The College is excited to welcome another group of Madison Park Early College scholars to BHCC’s community of graduates. Their success speaks volumes about their focus and determination to achieve at a high level.”
