Boston has over 27 in-district high schools - Help your 8th grader make an informed choice!
Your eighth grader is involved in Countdown to High School at the Ohrenberger School. They have received the following documents to share with you, but we wanted to make sure you have consistent access to them.
To make the best decision for your child, parents/guardians should familiarize themselves with types of schools, locations, specialties, and what they offer.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact Kelly Welch, School Social Worker at 617-635-8157 or at kwelch@bostonpublicschools.org.
This workshop will provide further help with choosing your High School of choice!!
