Just after 7 am on Tuesday, the first buses and students arrived at the new Middleborough High School via the new student entrance from Wood Street, and just like that, a new era began for the whole community.
In addition to students and staff, Superintendent Brian Lynch and MHS Principal Paul Branagan welcomed a handful of town officials and residents for a quick, celebratory look around, but after that, it was straight to class, back to business.
Around mid-morning, Superintendent Lynch emailed with his impressions of the first early-morning arrival of students at the new building.
“As I watched this year's students walk into their brand new high school for the first time this morning, I was trying to envision the positive impact this new facility will have on them and the generations of students to follow,” he said.
