When was the last time you were inside Stoneham High School?

Stoneham, MA - The Stoneham School Building Committee and Stoneham High School Principal Bryan Lombardi are hosting three opportunities for residents to tour the current high school and learn from Principal Lombardi why a new Stoneham High School building is so necessary to the future of Stoneham students.

Tours will be held as follows:
• Monday, July 19, 2021 from 10:00 - 11:30am;
• Tuesday, July 27, 2021 from 1:00 - 2:30pm; and on
• Wednesday, August 18, 2021 from 7:00 - 8:30pm.

Tours will begin promptly at the designated time each day and allow visitors to see all aspects of the current building and ask questions of Principal Lombardi regarding what they see. No registration is required to participate in the tours.

“We would like folks to understand that this building, which is more than 50 years old, has given our town everything it has,” says Principal Lombardi. “And now, we are facing a possible loss of future accreditation because the building cannot meet the needs of a 21st century education. And, even with a basic renovation to bring the building to current code, accreditation criteria may still not be met. This should concern us all. It is said that one picture is worth a thousand words; giving our community the opportunity to see this building as it is today should provide a novel’s worth of reasons to give our future students the building they deserve.”

SSBC Meetings are held twice a month on Monday evenings beginning at 7:00 p.m. and are now in person meetings at Stoneham Central Middle School. The School Building Committee meetings are open to all and the Committee welcomes and encourages your attendance and input. Details for attending meetings can be found at https://www.stoneham-ma.gov/hs... .
