Wareham High’s Grace Brogioli shines in statewide competition
Wicked Local
WAREHAM – Soft-spoken Wareham High senior Grace Brogioli said she was “shocked” to learn she had won the Massachusetts Secondary Schools Athletic Directors Association 2021 Scholar Athlete Essay Award.
She is one of only two winners statewide, and is now eligible for the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Scholar/Essay Competition.
“I was shocked when I got the email saying I won it because it’s a statewide award-scholarship. So I was really surprised - but I was glad,” she said.
But it was no surprise to anyone familiar with Brogioli.
Wareham High senior Cecilia Bottino’s accomplishments inspire proclamation

WAREHAM – Wareham Selectmen issued a proclamation in honor of Wareham High School senior Cecilia Bottino during the board’s March 30 meeting, which noted she was an “exceptionally well-rounded student.”
Select board member Judith Whiteside read the proclamation into the record, and it clearly illustrated that the board’s characterization was no exaggeration.
Her accomplishments include being in the top 20 percent of her class, as well as being a member of the track and field team, Key Club, Best Buddies, the National Honor Society, DECA, Student Council, Viking Theatre Co., and the Global Education Program.

The ballot is set for the Tuesday, May 4, Town Election, including competitive races for the Board of Selectmen and the School Committee.
School Committee
Four candidates will be running for two seats on the School Committee.
Geoff Swett, who has served on the committee for 12 years in the past, said that he decided to run in part because his responsibilities as chair of the School Building Committee would be coming to an end this fall, and because he had been asked to run by several people.
He also said that he hopes to be involved as the schools plan for a post-pandemic future, which he thinks will likely include more virtual education.
