Welcome Message 2012-2013
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Residents:
Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year. I am honored to serve as Superintendent of The Public Schools of Brookline, a system that continues to be viewed as one of the leading public school systems in the country. We are very pleased that this school community serves resident children, METCO students, children of town and school employees, and students from around the world.
Brookline alumni, staff and students contribute meaningfully to their communities and in their professional endeavors throughout our nation and the world. Moreover, Brookline students and graduates vie favorably with their counterparts, as measured by numerous measures of achievement and success.
We appreciate the level of support provided by the entire Town and accept, as part of this generous support, our obligation to account for our programs and communicate frankly the successes and the challenges for our system. Brookline truly cares about its public school system!
I sincerely hope that the information provided through our website encourages you to learn more about this extraordinary system.
Best wishes for a successful school year.
Sincerely,
William H. Lupini, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
