News & Announcements

Women’s History Month is a time to honor ordinary and extraordinary women, explore women’s achievements and struggles throughout history, and acknowledge women’s contributions to our society.

In celebration of Black History Month, renowned artist and award-winning children’s book illustrator Ekua Holmes hosted over 30 Prospect Hill Academy Charter School (PHA) families for an interactive virtual workshop on Thursday, February 10.

We are thrilled to announce that Prospect Hill Academy has earned the 2021 AP® Computer Science Principles (CSP) Female Diversity Award. Out of more than 20,000 secondary schools that offer AP courses, PHA is one of only 760 (4%) to accomplish this.

First, I want to thank you again for your ongoing agility, flexibility, and support as we continue to navigate our new landscape of COVID-19 and in-person learning. Governor Charlie Baker and the Commissioner of Education, Jeffrey Riley have steadfastly determined that in-person learning is a priority for Massachusetts. To that end, please know that district based remote learning is not on the horizon [except in extreme circumstances] and remote learning will only occur five(5) days at a time in the rare case that a classroom or campus has to be quarantined.

We hope you had a wonderful and restful break! As many of you have seen and heard, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) have updated their Quarantine Response Protocols for COVID-19 based on new guidance from the CDC. In turn, PHA has revised our protocols to align to these recommendations effective immediately.
