As this year draws to a close, significant events, Exhibitions of Mastery, Advanced Placement Exams, the MCAS, the Jaguar and Color Games, and Senior Internships serve as capstones of a fruitful academic year. This is also the time of year when important transitions take place on campus. Our kindergarten students are close to completing their first year of school. Students in the eighth grade look forward to completing middle school and are looking forward to the high school years. And of course the most significant transition for a student, seniors at the high school are preparing for graduation and life beyond South Shore Charter. May 1 was decision day for the Class of 2023. Our school is excited by the list of college acceptances for this outstanding senior class. These impressive achievements are a result of thoughtful planning and hard work done by students and their families.  This is a time for seniors and their families to celebrate and enjoy all that has been achieved. We extend a special thank you to guidance counselor, Mary Carter, Director of Guidance, as well as our faculty and staff, who have assisted our seniors in reaching their goals and achieving success. This year, we are honored to induct 18 seniors into the Fraternity of Thirteen, a prestigious recognition for students who have been attending South Shore Charter since kindergarten. As we approach graduation, we eagerly anticipate the bright futures that await this exceptional group of students. We are excited to celebrate and honor the Class of 2023 at their upcoming Commencement on Friday, June 2, 2023
