NY Times Highlights Brockton High School as National Leader in Education
Brockton High School is being heralded as a model of public school success in a Page 1 feature in the New York Times. The September 27, 2010 story outlines how Principal Dr. Susan Szachowicz and the faculty and staff of New England’s largest high school radically changed the school’s culture and turned it into one of the nation’s top performing high schools.“Ours is a story that proves that with determination, hard work and a focus on literacy, all students can and will achieve at high levels,” Szachowicz said. “I am so proud of our students for how they have defied the demographics, of our faculty who teach with great skill and passion, and of our administrative leadership team for their commitment to excellence. Our success has truly been a team effort!”
