schools, placing it among the top 12% of high schools in the nation.

Mashpee Public Schools has a myriad of academic, extracurricular and enrichment
programs designed to prepare students for life beyond high school.
"I’m not surprised to see Mashpee Middle-High School recognized so highly," said
Principal Bonnie Brady. "This recognition reflects what I have the privilege of seeing
every day: teachers and staff who are deeply committed to their students, young
people who work hard and take pride in their school and a community that genuinely
cares about their success. Our students benefit from rigorous academics,
meaningful opportunities beyond the classroom and educators who continually work
to improve their practice and ensure students feel supported, challenged and
connected. I am incredibly proud of what our students and staff accomplish together,
and even more proud to serve as the principal of Mashpee Middle-High School."
"This is something our students, staff and families should be proud of,”
Superintendent Dr. Michele Conners said. "We know what our students are capable
of and what our teachers do for them every day, so it is great to see Mashpee earn
this kind of recognition. That success starts well before students reach high school,
with the foundation built by our educators at every grade level. Families on the Cape
have choices about where their children go to school, and we want them to know
that Mashpee is a place where students can get a great education, find
opportunities that interest them and be part of a school community that knows
them."
