Education

When a family thinks about moving to a new community, or a family with young children thinks about staying, a major factor that community’s ability to provide a top notch educational experience. As mayor, I look forward to strongly supporting the city’s education efforts. It’s our job to provide a first rate education to each of our students so they have the best chance for success in life.

In Revere we are fortunate to have an excellent School Department, staffed by some of the best teachers and administrators in all of Massachusetts and quite possibly, New England.

In 2001 the city embarked on an ambitious new school building program. We have already built 4 state of the art schools with another on the drawing board. We understand that buildings alone will not provide a strong education. But giving students and teachers the necessary tools and facilities is a prerequisite to keeping pace with the high expectations in education today..

 

The Revere school system has won numerous awards over the last several years including the following:

2006- Revere High School was a finalist for the High School Excellence in Education Award sponsored by the National Center for Urban Transformation in San Diego, CA.

2007-Vanguard Award for Science – Exceptional Progress in Standards-Based School Reform --- Effectiveness in helping students reach higher academic standards.

2008- Massachusetts had the first-in-the-nation, state initiative to redesign schools with substantially more time for learning. Revere Public Schools were showcased at the Massachusetts Expanded Learning Time conference (ELT), held in Boston in 2008. Revere Public Schools are one of just 26 schools in Massachusetts (14 districts) to have attained ELT status.

2009- Revere High School was named one of three national finalists for the Intel School of Distinction Award for mathematics achievement.

Our schools and students have accomplished a lot in recent years. But with strong school leadership, top notch teachers, high parent interest, and a committed city government, I firmly believe even better days lie ahead.
