BPS Update on the South Boston High School

 Dear South Boston Community,

Last April and again this June, we met with members of the South Boston community to hear your vision for the future of the South Boston High School. One message was clear: families want expanded access to an outstanding Grades 7–12 school that offers strong academics, engaging extracurricular opportunities, and pathways that prepare students for college, careers, and life.

Today, BPS is excited to share an important update on the future of the South Boston High School building. As part of our Long-Term Facilities Plan and in response to community feedback, we are studying the possibility of bringing Boston Green Academy (BGA) back to South Boston. This is an exciting opportunity to welcome back a school with deep roots in the neighborhood while investing in the future of one of Boston’s most historic school buildings.

Over the coming year, we will work closely with students, families, alumni, neighbors, community partners, to shape the educational vision and building design that’s currently in progress. Over the following two years, we will prepare the facility for a tentative opening for the 2028–2029 school year. This fall, we look forward to welcoming you to one of many  community meetings, where you'll have the opportunity to meet BGA Principal Matt Holzer and other members of the BGA community to learn more about the vision for the future of this historic campus.

Sincerely,

Delavern Stanislaus
