HANDBOOK HIGHLIGHT #32
Vision of the Graduate
Medfield High School envisions a graduate who is an active and reflective member of their community. Students will graduate with the ability to think critically and communicate effectively using technology skillfully and ethically. They will pair these academic skills with empathy and resilience in preparation for adulthood.
Students will be able to balance responsibilities with their physical and social-emotional well-being. Students will also show a willingness to take risks, and understand mistakes are part of the journey of a lifelong learner.
For more information, please visit the MHS Student Handbook.
