2025 Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)
On Tuesday, February 11th, Medfield will be offering the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery). Students should report to guidance at 7:45AM on test day. Students can register here:
The test, optional and open to all CURRENT JUNIORS & SENIORS, is approximately 3 hours in length. Students are reminded that they are responsible to approach teachers in order to make up all missing assignments. Students will check-in to the MHS Guidance office the morning of the exam.
The ASVAB is an interest inventory that allows students to explore potential career options. The ASVAB is designed to help students learn more about themselves and the world of work, to identify and explore potentially satisfying occupations, and develop an effective strategy to realize potential career goals.
There is no fee to take the test. If you have any questions about registration please contact the school counseling office.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE MATH DEPARTMENT
Did you catch this post on our website from Friday? Check out some recent activities from our math classes.
FROM THE CLASS OF 2028
CAFE READ-A-LATTE
The MHS Library staff is excited to announce the details for Café Read-a-Latte 2025! This year the dates will run March 3, 2025- March 7, 2025. Café Read-a-Latte is a time for students to visit the LMC and get some relaxing down time by visiting different stations with book/ reading themes. This year every student at MHS will get to visit our celebration of books and reading during their English class – and possibly Flex.
In order to make this year successful, we are looking for your help! There are two ways to help if you are interested:
1) We are looking for a few volunteers at the following time slots to help us oversee the stations in the Library. IF you are interested in this, you must have a CORI on file with the Medfield Public Schools (within the last year). It only takes a few minutes if you stop by the front office at MHS or Central Office with your driver's license.
2) Every student will get a free beverage and snack during their visit, so we are looking for the following snack and beverage donations. These can be dropped off any time before the March 4th kick off. You can leave them on a labeled table by the front office at MHS– or have your student deliver directly to the LMC.
Thank you so much for helping us make this a special experience for every student at MHS!

MCPE Grant in Action
In the first grant cycle of ‘24-25, MCPE funded a grant to assist Medfield High School in securing a therapy dog. Recently, staff from MHS visited puppies at GoFi (Golden Opportunities for Independence), the organization who will be providing hands-on training and support for this program, as part of the process of selection. This therapy dog will establish emotional and mental health support for students.
Volunteer with MCPE and make a difference for our kids and schools!
