Boston Supporters....ACORN and community families have been working to get a high school in Mattapan. We need phone calls, emails and letters to go out to The Mayor of Boston and our new Governor to help push them to see the importance on this issue.
MATTAPAN DESERVES A HIGH SCHOOL.
1. Every other neighborhood in Boston has a high school except Mattapan
2. The high schools are overcrowded so opening up a new school will help our students and teachers
