Why Go: Melrose High School’s Global Education in Melrose program, together with the Melrose Human Rights Commission is celebrating the achievement of MHS students in the field of Global Education. Global Education in Melrose (GEM) was created four years ago and aims to foster students’ cultural awareness, recognize the accomplishments of students who represent the school around the globe, and provide graduates with skills for participating in and contributing to an increasingly international society. In order for a broader sector of the Melrose community to attend and share in the appreciation of students who have committed themselves to fulfilling the rigorous requirements of the program the GEM award ceremony is being held at Oak Grove Village. The students will present their final GEM projects, in which academic work is integrated with creative, reflective, and exploratory endeavors, all inspired and informed by travel, language study, reading and research.
Price: Free.
