(Courtesy of Mayor’s Offi ce) 425r Broadway, Saugus ~ OP-ED ~ Massachusetts Charter Schools like the Pioneer Charter Schools of Science are a Winning Choice — Academically and Athletically By Phil Signoroni Athletic Director Pioneer Charter School of Science & Pioneer Charter School of Science II A s the Athletic Director at Pioneer Charter School of Science (PCSS) and Pioneer Charter School of Science II (PCSS II), I’ve witnessed the remarkable growth of our schools into some of the best academic and athletic environments for students in Greater Boston. From our modest beginnings to the thriving programs we have today, the journey of our athletics program mirrors the larger story of what makes charter schools an excellent choice for families. In particular, our blend of college-preparatory and competitive athletics sets our students up for success in a unique way from traditional public schools. Our schools’ college-preparatory academics and competitive athletics prepare our students for success in traditional public schools, and it’s a journey we’ve all been part of. Founded in 2007, PCSS was created to offer students a rigorous, STEM-focused education in a safe and inclusive environment. As a tuition-free, college-preparatory school, we emphasize excellence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, providing our students with the foundation they need for higher education and successful careers. PCSS II, established in 2013 to extend these opportunities to more students, follows the same rigorous model. Over the last few years, we’ve seen tremendous transformation in another key area: athletics. I joined PCSS as Athletic Director in 2008, excited at the prospect of starting from scratch and building an athletics program. Initially, we had limited resources: one gym and no fi elds. But as our schools have grown, so too have our athletic programs. While initially both PCSS and PCSS II were only a member of the Massachusetts Charter School Athletic Organization (MCSAO), we are now members of and strong contenders in the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA), competing alongside other highly competitive traditional public schools. Our Fall 2024 season was one of our best to date. Some key moments include the PCSS Girls’ Cross-Country team winning the MCSAO Championship Meet, the PCSS II Girls’ Volleyball team winning the MCSAO Championship and OP-ED | SEE Page 6 Located adjacent to Kohls Plaza Route 1 South in Saugus at the intersection of Walnut Street We are on MBTA Bus Route 429 781-231-1111 We are a Skating Rink with Bowling Alleys, Arcade and two TV’s where the ball games are always on!
