This week, Massachusetts is holding its first annual statewide celebration of STEM education. At Boston Prep, we are celebrating both in school and on social media the exciting ways in which our students are engaging in the STEM fields.

Each year, the Boston Prep Parent Committee hosts a Town Hall, an event designed to bring together families, students, faculty and members of the greater community for meaningful dialogue about issues that impact the community and the world in which we live. This year’s Town Hall theme was “Celebrating Everyday Excellence.” Boston City Council President Andrea Campbell and entrepreneur, community organizer, and candidate for state representative Liz Miranda served as the featured guests.

The Du Bois Award is one of the highest honors at Boston Prep, awarded each week to one deserving student in front of the entire school community.  Named after W. E. B. Du Bois, the award recognizes a student who embodies the core virtues of Boston Prep -- courage, compassion, integrity, perseverance, and respect.

Two Boston Prep seniors performed an original rap – a duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, inspired by the Broadway hit Hamilton – on stage at the Boston Opera House while their classmates, thousands of students from around the state, and the Hamilton cast cheered them on.

Boston Prep students demonstrated significant growth - among the top in the city and the state - on the 2018 MCAS exams.
