✨ ALUMNI ALL‑STAR SPOTLIGHT: KIMBERLY AVALO ’24 ✨
Meet Kimberly Avalo, a proud member of the Class of 2024 and a graduate of our Health Careers shop! 💙
After discovering her passion for the medical field in high school, Kimberly is now attending UMass Boston, majoring in Exercise & Health Science on the Occupational Therapy track — already paving the way toward her future OTD degree. 🎓💪
She’s also making an impact in the healthcare world as a Clinical Fertility Assistant at Mass General Hospital, where her certifications, hands‑on training, and confidence from vocational education continue to shine.
When asked about her favorite high school memory, Kimberly didn’t hesitate:
💬 “Meeting my best friends freshman year in shop. They’re the people I count on the most, and we created the most memorable moments.”
Sports also played a huge role in shaping her path. From Girls Volleyball to Lacrosse, Kimberly found joy in staying active and discovered her passion for working with athletes — a perfect match for her EHS major and future PT/OT internship opportunities.
Her advice for current students?
💬 “Always try something new. I was scared to try out for sports with no experience, but I met the best people and made the best memories. Even with shop — I didn’t think I wanted something medical, but it was the best decision I made.”

That’s a wrap on Health Careers Senior clinicals! 🎉
Under the guidance of Stephanie Johnson, RN, MSN, our students completed their final day of rotations at Sturdy Health Hospital and Wrentham Developmental Center.

LPS students in grades 9 & 11 got a real life civics lesson in the form of a day-long field trip observing all the working components of town government. This was our fourth year of this Franklin Close-Up program, which included new stops along the tour! The goals of this day were to provide the freshmen with real-life working examples of the interdependence of town government, and to expose them to the various career options in public service; and for the juniors to consider potential paid/unpaid internship placements (either in Franklin or in their own sending towns) for their senior year. Students heard presentations from the following departments:
following: Franklin Fire Department, Arts & Culture, Conservation Department, Senior Center, Veterans Services, Franklin Public Library, Parks and Recreation, DPW, & Water Sanitation.

✨ Massachusetts AP Day at the State House!
On April 15th, our students joined Mrs. Hertel, our Math & AP teacher, for an inspiring day of advocacy and learning. They met with Representative Jeffrey Roy and Senator Rebecca Rausch to discuss Bill S.2536, which would require Massachusetts state colleges to award credit for AP scores of 3 or higher.
With Massachusetts ranked #1 in the nation for AP performance, our students showed exactly why—speaking confidently, asking thoughtful questions, and representing our school with pride. 💙📚
A powerful day for student voices.

Two shop weeks. One homicide case. Countless hours of prep.
The LPS Class of 2028 absolutely owned this year’s Mock Trial.
Both the prosecution and defense came ready with sharp arguments, confident questioning, and courtroom presence that impressed everyone watching.
Our Medical Assisting jury weighed the evidence and returned guilty verdicts on first‑degree murder and criminal hazing.
Great collaboration between the two programs!

🚀✨ The children at the Tri‑County Children’s Center have been shooting for the stars—literally!
Their curiosity about astronauts and outer space brought a special visitor: Ms. Magas, Engineering Instructor 🌟

The Mars expedition design she used was created by our talented Graphics program students 🎨🚀
How lucky are we to have experts who bring their knowledge, passion, and experiences right into our preschool classroom ❤️🌍
