MPSD Wall of Honor Subcommittee

The Marshfield School Committee and MPSD Leadership team are excited to begin the process to select the district’s inaugural Wall of Honor induction class.  The purpose of this honor is to foster pride in our system through recognition of individual achievement of former students, teachers, coaches/advisors, administrators, school committee members and friends of the Marshfield Public Schools.

Voted on last fall by the School Committee, the Wall of Honor will look to “honor people of exemplary moral character who have made an outstanding contribution to the school community or education, over a period of time; or have accomplished exemplary achievement; or have displayed outstanding leadership.”

“Any faculty/administrator/school committee members or school volunteers/supporters who have not worked in the Marshfield Public School district for at least three (3) years or more, and /or students who have been graduated for three (3) years or more are eligible to be considered for nomination. Any member of the Marshfield community or Marshfield school community may nominate a candidate.”  

Prior to beginning the nomination process, I will be putting together a Wall of Honor Subcommittee which will consist of the superintendent, two teachers, two community members, two school committee members and a school principal.   The subcommittee will be responsible for deliberating over each nominee’s qualifications and making a final determination on that year’s Honorees.

If you are interested in serving on the Wall of Honor Subcommittee, please submit a letter of interest to Ruthann Despier, the Superintendent's Administrative Assistant.  The letter can either be mailed to the Marshfield Public Schools’ Central Office (76 South River Street) or emailed to Ms. Despier at rdespier@mpsd.org.  The deadline for submitting a letter of interest will be Monday, March 12th.  

Once the subcommittee is finalized, there will be additional communication sent out to the community regarding the nomination process.  The goal will be to have the inaugural class of inductees announced later in the spring.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey W. Granatino
Superintendent
