Massachusetts STEM Week takes place from October 21-25 this year. We will be highlighting examples of the great work being done in our classrooms throughout the Stoughton Public Schools focusing on areas of science, technology, engineering, and math. STEM Week is an annual statewide effort to boost the interest, awareness, and ability for all learners to envision themselves in STEM education and employment opportunities. The theme for STEM Week this year is “STEM starts now” – at any age you can learn about STEM, from our youngest learners to adult learners. SPS offers a wide variety of STEM opportunities from PreK-12. Every student in SPS takes technology and engineering each year from K-5, STEM class in grades 6-8, and then students can choose engineering or computer science pathways in addition to the many math, business, and science courses offered at SHS. All of these courses are designed to expose students to real life applications and opportunities as well as prepare them for higher education or career skills. Be sure to check our social media pages this week to see examples of STEM education right here in the Stoughton Public Schools!
Thursday, October 24, 2024 is an early release day for the Stoughton Public Schools.

The Stoughton High boys cross country team started off the season with a win over North Attleboro on Tuesday! The 27-28 victory (lower score wins), was Stoughton's first since 2020. Valdimar DePIna finished third overall, followed by Jacob Marques in fourth, and Will Borges in fifth. Quentin Simon came in seventh, and captain James Bettencourt came in eighth cementing the Stoughton win. If James did not edge the North Attleboro runner who placed ninth, North would have won. Meanwhile, the Stoughton girls cross country team lost to North Attleboro on Tuesday. Leah McCarty led Stoughton, finishing third overall. Senior Angie Berry finished fifth and Kirsten Alexson placed eighth for the Black Knights.
The Stoughton High girls varsity soccer team is off to a 2-0 start this season! The season started off with a 2-1 win over Sharon last week, followed by a 4-0 win over North Attleboro on Tuesday. The Black Knights have been led by Emma Tran with 2 goals, Makenzie O'Connor with 2 goals, Morgan O'Connor with 1 goal, Bianca Casna with 1 goal, Lauren Mitchell with strong play on defense, and Morgan Cook with strong play in the midfield. Goalie Molly Fox has only allowed one goal and recorded her first shutout of the season against North Attleboro.
The Stoughton High varsity field hockey team traveled to Milford on Tuesday and came away with a hard-fought 2-1 victory! Raegan Costello and Lauren Price scored the Stoughton goals, both assisted by Neala Garrels. Coach Caitlin Jamiel credits Grace Weisenberger for excellent play in goal, while Lauren Price and Casey Groppi controlled the game offensively for the Black Knights. Stoughton is now 2-1 on the season.
Before the start of preschool, the Jones Early Childhood Center held an open house to give students and families a chance to visit the school and meet their teachers. Families could also stop by a table to find out about the new Jones Early Childhood Center PTO and pick up a Table Talks box from our friends at the Stoughton OASIS Coalition.
