Distribution of the report within the school community is the responsibility of the school principal. The final visiting committee report must be released in its entirety within sixty days (60) of its completion to the superintendent, school board, public library or town office, and the appropriate news media. The prime concern of the visiting committee has been to assess the quality of the educational program at this school in terms of the Commission's Standards for Accreditation. Neither the total report nor any of its subsections is to be considered an evaluation of any individual staff member but rather a professional appraisal of the school as it appeared to the visiting committee. Page 2 of 100 STANDARDS FOR ACCREDITATION The Committee on Public Secondary School's Standards for Accreditation serve as the foundation for the accreditation process and by which accreditation decisions are made.

    East Boston High School Program of Studies 2017-‐ 2018

    East Boston High School Program of Studies 2017- 2018 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Dear Student, My name is Phillip R. Brangiforte, and I am both honored and humbled to be able to address the parents and residents of this community as Headmaster of East Boston High School. Very often in the realm of secondary education, we speak of the word “identity” in relation to our students. Why? Because high school is the period when individuals truly develop lasting identities; when children become young adults; when career aspirations are instilled, and when choices both positive and negative can impact a lifetime. I would ask that you please allow me a brief moment to share my identity with all of you. I am, and will always be, a lifelong resident of East Boston. I could have moved anywhere, but I decided to live and raise my family in the city where my roots were planted. I could have sent my children to any school, but I chose East Boston High because my bloodlines run deep within these walls, as over 40 of my relatives, including my parents, sister, and children have proudly received diplomas from this great institution. As a child growing up on West Eagle Street, I often looked out of my bedroom window at the brick facade of East Boston High, yearning to be one of the kids who poured out of the green doors every afternoon, off to football or baseball practice. Eventually, I wore the blue and gold with such intense pride that after graduating college, I decided to dedicate my life to the betterment of this school and the surrounding community.
