Whittier School MyCAP Showcase
Initiative Promotes Authentic Postsecondary Planning
The Whittier School held a MyCAP showcase on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, giving eighth graders the chance to share their plans for high school and beyond. MyCAP stands for My Career and Academic Plan. It was developed by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to engage students in authentic postsecondary planning through a continuum of learning focused on the individual student's interests, skills and talents. The process allows students to be the drivers of their education, and it empowers them to connect their courses with career interests, to seek out career development opportunities such as internships, apprenticeships, capstone projects, and to identify the personal, social, and behavioral skills needed to be successful in the workplace.
The Whittier School showcase was reminiscent of a science fair. Students used three-panel posterboards to outline their academic and career plans and aspirations. The eighth graders who are headed to Everett High School will continue their MyCAP work, which culminates with a senior capstone project.

EPS Students Participate in Girls on the Run 5K
A large contingent of Everett Public Schools (EPS) students participated in the annual Girls on the Run 5K on Saturday, June 1, 2024, at Suffolk Downs. Sixty Grade 3-5 students from the Madeline English, Keverian, and Lafayette schools represented the EPS at the 5K. The students are members of Girls on the Run clubs, one of several free enrichment programs offered through the district’s Department of Extended Learning.
Girls on the Run is a non-profit organization that inspires students “to recognize their inner strength, increase their level of physical activity, imagine their possibilities, and confidently stand up for themselves and others." The annual 5K race is an opportunity for students across the state to "compete with themselves" by pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones to learn what they are capable of! EPS is now in our second year partnering with Girls on the Run, and we are looking forward to continuing the relationship … for the long run!
