The Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents, originated in 1973, is the only statewide organization dedicated to the unique professional and advocacy concerns of school superintendents and assistant superintendents.
🍴 The 2025 Paul J. Andrews Summer Executive Institute was expertly catered by students in the Culinary Arts program at Mashpee Middle-High School.
🥗 We are grateful to these talented students and to their instructor, John Foley, for the delicious meals they prepared and served.
Thank you again to the entire Mashpee Public Schools team for being great hosts!
💃 Day 3 of the 2025 Paul J. Andrews Summer Executive Institute opened with a dance performance by three students from the Curley K-8 School in Boston, who will begin 9th grade at the Boston Arts Academy.
✊🏾 We were honored to welcome Leona Tate, a civil rights advocate who was one of the first African-American students to attend a formerly all-white school in New Orleans. Ms. Tate engaged in conversation about her experiences with Dr. Patrick Tutwiler, Secretary of Education for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and Skyla Rimple, an alumna of Mashpee Middle-High School and Project 351, who is now a student at the University of Pennsylvania.
⚖️ Attorney Kelly Gonzalez also presented to members today about key legal issues facing school districts.
🙌🏼 We are very grateful to Project 351 for their outstanding participation throughout the Institute. Student ambassadors from districts across Massachusetts energized attendees with daily “firestarters,” remarks, reflections, poetry, and a rousing welcome to district leaders.
💙 Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Institute successful, productive, and fun!
