THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, October 18, 2019 Page 23 MVRCS | FROM PAGE 6 Abigail Adams Scholarship; it was announced recently by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The 43 students represents over half of MVRCS’ total graduating class, making the school one of a select few throughout the Commonwealth in which a majority of its graduating seniors received the scholarship award. The scholarship entitles the graduate to four years of tuition assistance at any Massachusetts state college or university. “I am proud to congratulate our 43 seniors for receiving the Adams Scholarship,” Mystic Valley Director/Superintendent Alex Dan said. “Many of these young men and women have been a part of our school community since kindergarten and credit for this accomplishment goes to not only the students themselves but our faculty, staff and administration that has not only educated but nurtured these students during their formative years.” Because only 25 percent of any given district’s students are eligible for the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship (each city is capped at 25 percent regardless of where those students attend school), the fact that 52 percent of MVRCS’ Class of 2020 earned this designation firmly proves that the school delivers a far more rigorous education when compared to its sending districts. “This is a great proverbial feather in the caps of over half of the class of 2020,” Matthew Stone, MVRCS’ Assistant Director said. “This will assist them greatly in their ongoing college selection process and beyond. Looking at the numbers once again validates our academic offerings and rigor and makes everyone involved to want more.” Scholarship recipients from Everett include David Nguyen and Isabel Ospina.
