BILLERICA, MA — 91 seniors at Shawsheen Valley Technical High School have earned the prestigious John and Abigail Adams Scholarship this year, the most in the school’s history. 12 of the seniors are from Wilmington.
“It is particularly gratifying to see increasing numbers of Adams scholarship recipients at Shawsheen Tech each year,” said Tim Broadrick, Shawsheen’s Superintendent-Director. “This is a testament not only to the hard work of our dedicated professional staff, but also to the work ethic and resilience of our students. I couldn’t be more proud.”
Eligible students score in the Advanced category in either the Mathematics or the English Language Arts section of the Grade 10 MCAS test and score in the Proficient or Advanced category on the second subject (Mathematics or English Language Arts). These students also have a combined MCAS score on these assessments that ranks in the top 25 percent in their school district.
Wilmington scholarship winners were Andrew Brown, Rachel Canty, Michelle Doucette, Sarah King, Kaitlyn McLaren, Connor O’Brien, Brendan O’Flaherty, Thomas Prior, Damian Rachdorf, Katelyn Stevens, Adam Surette and Sean Walsh.
Students awarded John and Abigail Adams Scholarship by the Department of Education receive full tuition to state universities.
