A recent change in state policy has removed the MCAS as a graduation requirement. As a result, students who previously were awarded a Certificate of Achievement may now be eligible for a diploma.

If you met all local graduation requirements and received a Certificate of Achievement (instead of a diploma) upon completing high school, you may request a review of your transcript to determine if you qualify for a diploma.

The Taunton School Committee approved updates to graduation requirements following the removal of the MCAS requirement

This recognition places Taunton among an elite group of 17 Food School-based Enterprises and 20 Retail School-based Enterprises in Massachusetts to receive this honor. The award highlights the outstanding efforts of seniors Sophie Almeida and Daniel Levesque, who led the certification process with support from their DECA advisors, Jesse MacPhail and Molly Sullivan, and store manager Kristin Sullivan.
