By Judy Bass

Minuteman High School will hold an All-Alumni Reunion at the school on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. This occasion comes just a few months prior to the opening of the newly-constructed and eagerly-awaited Minuteman High School later this year.

Alumni, students, past employees, current employees and members of the Minuteman Parent Association are welcome to attend.

It will be an evening of reminiscing and giving a final farewell to the existing Minuteman building. Light refreshments and appetizers prepared by the Culinary Arts students and staff will be served.

There will be a $20 fee per person to cover the cost of hosting this event.

Anyone interested in applying to Minuteman High School is urged to act promptly.

Minuteman is five months away from moving into a $145M facility that has been designed to support a robust college and career academy model. The academy model was adopted by staff and administration to create smaller “schools within a school” thereby promoting more personalized learning founded upon close relationships between students and teachers. The Minuteman college and career academy model integrates rigorous academics with relevant technical programming in occupational areas providing individual economic opportunity. The new facility will accommodate project-based learning across disciplines, requiring students to learn how to work on a diverse team, solve problems and think critically. These are essential 21^st-century skills that students practice and apply in a variety of school-based and work-based environments.

As an accredited member of the New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEASC), Minuteman inspires all students to attain their full potential, accelerate their learning, and become purposeful citizens in the global community.
