Greetings Old Colony Community, As we approach the final stretch of the school year, the energy and excitement among our students is truly inspiring. Summer offers a valuable opportunity for everyone—especially our students—to reflect, recharge, and continue growing. Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of recognizing student achievements at our Excellence in Effort Awards Ceremony. We are also looking forward to several exciting upcoming events, including Industry Signing Day on the morning of May 28, Senior Awards Night on May 28, Prom on May 29, and, of course, Graduation on June 30. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our PTO for their unwavering support throughout the year. During Staff Appreciation Week, they generously provided breakfast, lunch, and an array of delicious desserts for our staff. Their continued support also helps make it possible for students to participate in competitions, activities, and other enriching experiences. Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our incredible staff for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to our students each and every day. Wishing everyone a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer!
Sincerely, Mr. Linehan
