(Courtesy Photo) F orty-three members of the Class of 2020 at Mystic Valley Regional Charter School (MVRCS) received the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship, it was recently announced by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The 43 students represent over half of the school’s 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,” said MVRCS Director/Superintendent Alex Dan. “Many of these young men and women have been a part of our school community since kinAward-Winning Landscaping Servicing the North Shore for over 38 Years dergarten, 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 the Class of 2020 at MVRCS 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,” said MVRCS Assistant Director Matthew Stone. “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 Malden include Bianca Antonucci, Omar Asrih, Jennie Chau, Bianca Deras, Danielle Downie, Jaden Granderson, Kenny Jean-Pierre, Natalie LoRusso, Jason Luu, Donald Nguyen, Ashley O’Rourke, Cassandra Paul, Matthew Romprey, Nicholas Sokolovic and Quynhan Vo.
