a message from our headmaster

Dear Friends, Families & Supporters,

We are thrilled to introduce to you our inaugural Annual Report, documenting our first three years as an institution. Since the opening of Boston Green Academy in 2011, we have learned and grown as a community, we have made great strides both academically and culturally, and together, our staff and students continue to build a school that we are proud of.

Boston Green Academy was created to provide a better education and future for the youth of Boston, many of whom struggle both personally, economically and academically. We provide our students with the supports and training they will need to succeed in life after high school. In just three years as an institution, we have proven that we are well on our way.

This Annual Report highlights some of the major events, tremendous students, and generous donors who have made the last three years so memorable, and who make the future of our school so promising.

We look forward to many years of success and growth, and we hope to have your support along the way.

Sincerely,

Matt Holzer Headmaster

our historyBoston Green Academy is a school that was created to prepare Boston Public School students for the burgeoning green economy. Our initial plan was to open grades 6 and 9, to build a green curriculum, culture and school environment, and to add subsequent grades until becoming a full 6-12 institution. However, in 2011, we learned that we would be “restarting” the struggling Odyssey High School in South Boston and enrolling the majority of its students. Though it was a different path than we had intended to take, we were grateful for the opportunity and welcomed the challenge.

In 2011, Odyssey High School had a graduation rate of 55% and a dropout rate of 12%; 85% of students were classified as “at-risk” by the BPS; and 75 students in 11th and 12th grade had yet to pass the ELA or Math MCAS exams. When we opened our doors in September 2011 to 340 students, we accepted the majority of these former Odyssey High School students and enrolled new students from 16 other schools in the city. Our vision of creating a green school from the ground-up was delayed by an immediate need to improve academic performance, decrease the dropout rate, increase the graduation rate, rebuild a fractured student body, and develop trust and community between and among students and staff.

Just three years after opening, Boston Green Academy has achieved each of these goals: our dropout rate has decreased to 4%; our graduation rate is approaching 90%; and our 2012-2013 MCAS scores made us the most improved high school in the BPS. With this tremendous turnaround work behind us, we are now focused on continued progress, expanding to middle school with the opening of 6th grade in September 2014, and making the Taft Building in Brighton our new home!

nts juggle homework & parenthood

“Honestly, before BGA, I thought I was going to drop-out.” Joisy was a freshman at Odyssey High School, which closed down at the end of the 2010-2011 school year. She then entered BGA for its first year. Though she had been struggling academically at Odyssey, she could not have been prepared for the news she received in January 2012. Joisy learned that she was pregnant. She was 15 years old.

“I felt like I was a failure, and that every time I stepped out of my house – the way people were looking at me – I could feel them judging me. I felt like I proved a stereotype by being a young, Latina parent. But when I got to BGA, I felt like it was okay. They let me know that I wasn’t the only one.”

One of the major supports for Joisy has been BGA’s Student Support Team (SST). Equipped with two social workers, community field coordinators, graduate clinical interns and a college and career counselor, SST provides a safe place, a listening ear and a helping hand for all students. SST offers social-emotional support, crisis management and intervention, mediation, substance abuse counseling, mentoring, and more.

“The staff at BGA are willing to help and go out of their way to make things possible for us. They’re here before school, after school; they have kids, they have lives – but they choose to put those things on hold, so they can help us and see us grow.”

With these supports, Joisy is not only committed to graduating on time, but also to taking advantage of the opportunities available at BGA. While six months pregnant, Joisy participated in a paid summer internship in the Corporate Services department at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, one of BGA’s major partners. Following this internship, in October 2012, Joisy gave birth to her son Michael.

“I noticed from day one that BGA was different, but it really hit me when I had my son. The staff helped me to rearrange my schedule to work with my personal life. I could come in at 9am rather than 8am, get ready in the morning, not rush, say goodbye to my son. It was so different from my last school, where class started at 7:30am, and no one cared if you were late. At BGA, they sit down with you, they ask you what’s going on, and they help you find ways to graduate on time.”

Not only did Joisy graduate on time in June 2014, but she is also planning to attend Year Up, a one-year, intensive training program that provides low-income young adults, ages 18-24, with a combination of hands-on skill development, college credits, and corporate internships. Joisy would like to attend college and major in Business; she is interested in Endicott College, not only for its strong academic program, but also for its single parent program.

Though she is thankful to have graduated from high school, Joisy recognizes all that she is leaving behind. “The opportunities for the upcoming classes at BGA are going to get better and better as the school grows. I thought I was going to be a high school dropout. But this school, this staff – they have opened my eyes to see what I’m really capable of and how far I can get in life.”

nts take advantage of opportunities

“It was one of the best experiences of my life.” That is how Anteneh Mekonnen, BGA senior, described a dinner table conversation with his host mother during the 2013 Maple Leaf Student Exchange program. The 7-day trip was organized by the Maple Leaf Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of understanding between Canada and the US. Last April, the program swapped students from BGA and Woodstock High School of Woodstock, New Brunswick. For Anteneh, this program opened his eyes to a new country, government and people, and a new outlook on life.

“Being exposed to places and programs with more diversity, with different types of people, has prepared me for life outside our school building. If I want to go somewhere in life, I need to branch out; the opportunities at BGA have allowed me to do that.”

The youngest of nine children, Anteneh has eight older sisters – four in the US and four in his home country of Ethiopia. He lives with his father and one sister in Boston; his mother passed away when he was just two years old. For a young person with a family split between two continents, Anteneh has found that in many ways, the community at BGA has become his family.

“There are so many personalities at BGA. I know I can go to different teachers for all sorts of things, ranging from help with class or advice on a personal issue. This school gets you to build long-term relationships with people you’d probably never meet otherwise. That connection between two people, or a group of people, is amazing.”

Throughout his senior year, Anteneh continued to build new relationships, and branch out through school experiences and partnerships. He participated in the Historically Black College and University Tour, the BGA Green Team, the Green Ambassadors program, Boys and Girls State at Stonehill College, Squashbusters and Summer Search, and fundraised with 15 other students to go on a service-learning trip to the Dominican Republic in April 2014.

“The more opportunities a school can offer students, the more engaged they’ll be. The extra activities, internships, trips, programs at BGA – they all encourage me to do more.” In fact, Anteneh has always known that he was interested in Engineering, but it wasn’t until he was attended a career panel on the profession at BGA that he knew he wanted to pursue it.

“I always knew that I wanted to go to college, but my interests in Engineering were encouraged more at BGA – it has made college a guarantee for me, not an option.”

Anteneh recognizes that many of these opportunities, including the “best experience of his life,” have been made possible by generous donors. To that end, he offers not only his thanks, but also his promise: “Investing in our students – that’s just paying it forward. One day I’ll be in the position to support others, and I’ll be giving back. It’s a chain reaction waiting to happen.”

Anteneh is now studying at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, where he was awarded a $30,000 scholarship.

what makes us specialAt BGA, we offer a rigorous course schedule that emphasizes the importance of hands-on, student-centered learning experiences. Our teachers build their curriculum for students that it is engaging and relevant to their lives, and encompasses 21st century skills to prepare them for life after high school. In the pages that follow, you will read more about what makes BGA so special.

Special EducationWith 33% of our students classified as special needs, BGA seeks to provide an inclusive environment with extensive academic, social and emotional supports. 2013 MCAS scores show that our approach is working: special education students at BGA out-performed their peers across the BPS in all content areas.

Not only does our special education program prepare students for success in school, but it also helps prepare them for a successful high school transition. The “BGA Cafe” is just one way our students gain valuable vocational skills that will help them transition to adulthood. Through the BGA Cafe, special education students create menus, build budgets, grocery shop, prepare meals, and sell them to our staff each week -- developing culinary, financial, business and social skills.

We dream of building a state-of-the-art culinary kitchen, but equipment and supplies are needed. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Mary Callaghan at mcallaghan@bostongreenacademy.org.

what makes us specialOur Green Mission is create a student-driven, project-based school that inspires all students to seek a sustainable future, and challenges them to create a diverse 21st century green economy. We work with more than 40 partners to weave green themes and experiential learning opportunities into all aspect of the school, particularly academics, the building, and health & wellness.

We construct all of our courses through a lens of sustainability. Our curriculum challenges our students to grapple with important environmental, social and economic issues while empowering them to create change in their own lives and beyond.

academics the buildingIt is our dream to pilot the first green school building in the Boston Public School system, and we plan to involve our students in the design and building process every step of the way. We’re seeking LEED-ebom certification, building proposals for a green roof, and working on living walls in the classrooms.

health &wellnessIn addition to making the planet more socially and environmentally sustainable, we want to make sure studentsare also learning how tosustain themselves. Students learn to garden using our raised garden beds, train for races with Sole Train, partner with Boston Bikes and much more.

Hands-on, project-based learning pushes our students to become intellectually curious, independent learners. By connecting their workin the classroom to real-world situations, students develop critical thinking skills, identify their interests, and start making plans for their futures.

Examples of hands-on learning at BGA:

• Dominican Republic service-learning trip• Senior Internship Program• Vertex Pharmaceuticals STEM Mentorship • Boston University Summer Institute• Project Week• Parkolation Project• Exhibitions in all content areas• BGA News Room• Thompson Island Outward Bound• Green Ambassador Program• 2012 Presidential Inauguraton Trip

More than 80% of our students are minority youth living at or below the federal poverty line, primarly from the urban areas of Dorchester, Roxbury and Mattapan. To keep this community on track to succeed, BGA’s Student Support Team (SST) develops much-needed support systems that allow us to address significant barriers many of our students face: trauma, poverty, and mental health challenges.

For the 2013-2014 school year, SST was compised of 2 Social Workers, 3 Community Field Coordinators, 1 Dean of Students, 3 Graduate School Clinical Interns, and a College & Career Director. These individuals come together to help keep students focused in school; to help resolve problems inside and outside of school; and to offer support and training to teachers and staff. Their services include individual and group counseling; crisis intervention; case management; family counseling; girls groups and more.

what makes us specialParkolation Project with VSA MassachusettsIn partnership with VSA Massachusetts’ COOL Schools Program, BGA students created one of Boston’s premier parklets. (Parklets are mini-parks that take up a few metered parking spaces in Boston. They are part of a growing movement to make streets more human-centered, green and accessible.)

Students in Ms. Golden’s class dreamed big, then designed, planned and built a real parklet by working with VSA Teaching Artist, Wilhelmina Peragine; students in the Gateway Initiative at Boston Architectural College; Copley Wolff Landscape Architect, Cortney Kirk; and a number of other volunteers and experts. This work involves many 21st century skills, such as civic engagement, collaboration , creative thinking and problem solving.

The Parkolation Project is located outside of Mei Mei restaurant in the Fenway area, so stop by to hang out, park your bike, charge your phone and enjoy our city’s beautiful scenary! The parklet will be disassembled in November 2014 and stored for the winter months, but you can view the project and videos at: www.parkolationproject.com

Project WeekIn April 2014, BGA held is second annual Project Week -- what students deem “the best thing we do at BGA.” Modeled after the successful program at Fenway High School, Project Week sends all BGA students and staff out of the building for a full week to explore careers, colleges, sports, green cooking, hiking, Boston’s cultures and more. Regardless of the chosen activity, Project Week helps build community, fosters city exploration and pushes students to reach beyond the comforts of their usual surroundings.

Just a sampling of last year’s projects:

Dominican Republic Service Learning TripBGA students become leaders in environmental protection by restoring riverbeds in Boston and in Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic. They raise funds throughout the school year to make the trip happen - and will do it again in 2015!

High School All OverEver wonder what it would be like to be at a different high school or to live in a different community? In this project we will go to a number of different high schools - rich/poor/suburban/urban - to compare and contrast what high school is like in other places, including Searsport, Maine!

Produce a Hit SingleThis project is for people who love music production and performance. BGA students work together in a professional music studio to produce their very own hit single (and even a musicvideo!) in one week.

15

Sponsorship is available - and critical - for this program. If you are interested in supporting Project Week, please contact: mcallaghan@bostongreenacademy.org.

Maple Leaf Student ExchangeThe Exchange brings together Boston Public High School juniors with their Canadian counterparts. Boston and Canadian students spend one week in each other’s host city attending classes, visiting cultural landmarks, and learning about one another’s culture. For Project Week this group goes to Canada!

Service & Therapy AnimalsDo you love animals? Do you think it is cool that animals can actually help people live better lives? We will experience how horses, dogs and monkeys are trained, and will also learn some veterinary science. If you love interacting with animals this is the project for you.

Boston BikesIf you love to bike, don’t miss out as we roll all over Boston in style. From Southie’s Castle Island to the Minuteman Trail, connecting all the way to Lexington and Concord, come explore Boston (and then some) on wheels!
