What an inspiring day at Orchard Gardens K-8 School!

We were honored to welcome Mayor Michelle Wu 吳弭 and Representative John Moran, as they celebrated the incredible impact of You Got It Girl (YGIG) and GROW – Girls Reflecting Our World during our 5th Quarter Summer.

Together, these two outstanding programs are empowering girls through leadership, mentorship, wellness, teamwork, and confidence-building – helping our students discover their voices and reach their full potential.

Thank you to the dedicated leaders, mentors, and staff who make this work possible every day, and to our amazing students for bringing joy to us all. The future is bright!

More than 120 Boston Public Schools student-athletes came together Tuesday at the Joan Kroc Center to inspire the next generation through a free youth lacrosse clinic for Boston students ages 7–14.

Led by BPS students in grades 6–12 alongside high school and college players, participants built their skills, gained confidence, and each received a lacrosse stick to continue playing beyond the clinic.

A heartfelt thank you to Harlem Lacrosse - Boston for your incredible partnership and unwavering commitment to our students—not just during this summer clinic, but throughout the entire school year. Your year-round focus on academics, athletics, and mentorship helps BPS students thrive on and off the field.

Together, we're creating opportunities, building community, and helping every student reach their full potential.

Boston Public Schools is excited to celebrate the second annual Exam School Initiative (ESI) Summer Program Student Showcase!

Last week, Boston Latin School hosted rising BPS Grades 4, 5, 6 and 8 students, parents and friends, as students demonstrated what they’ve learned this summer throughout the four-week program. Their displays included lessons in math, English language arts, music, and visual arts.

The Exam School Initiative (ESI) is an equity initiative led by the BPS Office of Teaching & Learning to increase diversity in our three exam schools by providing access to students from traditionally underrepresented communities. This summer, 200-plus students participated in ESI programming.
