The Greylock Way ~

At MGRSD, we condemn in the strongest terms the violence being perpetrated against people of color in cities and towns across our country. We recognize and condemn the long history of racism rooted in the deepest facets and structures of our society. We are committed to the nonnegotiable values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We will continue to listen, to learn, and use our roles as educators, leaders, mentors, and protectors of children to be active participants in the fight for social justice. We vow to invite and inspire our students to do the same.

The Class of 2020 enjoyed a two-part hybrid graduation with a pre-graduation video of speeches and awards plus a slideshow of class members.  Mount Greylock is grateful to Debby Dane and Willinet for producing this video. Coming soon will be an expanded version that that includes  photos and music from graduation day. [video]

Mount Greylock has been working to re-establish a vital job shadowing program and other "real life" programming with the Berkshire County Regional Employment Board and the diligent work of Lisa Mendel, Jessica Casalinova and Beverly Maselli.  While all the job shadow pairing could not take place once COVID-19 closed schools, we thought it would be interesting to share the variety of student interests and the commitments from myriad community volunteers who agreed to host students for a day.

Congratulations to Mia Harding '24 (and her younger sister Izabel) and Malcolm Skinner '20, who helped with the narration and production of a history video series for the Williamstown Historical Museum that the girls narrated. The first two videos in the series are online now and are titled "A Brief Introduction to Williamstown." [video]

On average, 6% of high school athletes continue athletic participation in college. This year, 8 members of the Class of 2020 let us know they have plans to continue their athletic participation at the next level. Traditionally we take time during the school day to honor students planning to participate in an athletic program at the collegiate level. While we are unable to honor students in the auditorium this spring, we would still like to take the opportunity to mention each student, congratulate them and wish them luck as they continue their athletic endeavors. Congratulations and best of luck to Madison Ross, Tyler Canata, Taylor Cornell, Toby Foehl, Evelyn Fuls, Jonah Kelly-Whitney, Brooke Phelps and Finn Welch. [video]
