Methuen Educators

Tonight, the Methuen School Committee honored one teacher from each school building for their exemplary contributions to their school communities.

Congratulations to our amazing members who were chosen as Methuen Teachers of the Year!

Congratulations to the Class of 2026 from Methuen High School and their families!

This year’s graduates are headed to more than 60 colleges and universities across Massachusetts, New England, and the nation, with students attending schools ranging from nearby community colleges to prestigious institutions and destinations as far away as Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Puerto Rico.

Whether attending Harvard, Georgia Tech, UMass Lowell, Tufts, Merrimack, Northern Essex, the University of Alabama, the University of Colorado Boulder, or any of the many outstanding colleges and universities represented by the Class of 2026, each graduate is embarking on a unique journey filled with opportunity, growth, and endless possibilities. From campuses across Massachusetts and New England to destinations throughout the country, our graduates are pursuing their dreams and preparing to make their mark on the world.

Whether your next step is college, a career, military service, a trade, or another path, we celebrate your achievements and the exciting future that awaits. We are proud of all you have accomplished and look forward to seeing the positive impact you will make in your communities and around the world.

Thank you to CGS first grade teacher Alison Graham, along with Michelle Hall and Maria Silva, for coordinating with parents’ schedules to celebrate their students after school in such a fun and creative way.

A time to remember and honor the heroes who sacrificed everything for our nation.
And a time to thank all of our service members who continue to risk their lives for our freedom.

Tonight, Methuen educators provided a visual example to the City Council of what will happen to class sizes next year if the city of Methuen moves forward with catastrophic cuts to staff and services.

We need our city to come together and fix what is broken. This problem did not just appear yesterday, it has been created over decades. With $20 million in free cash reserves, we can plug the gap for next year, but it is not a sustainable long-term solution. We are committed to working with our community to protect the future of Methuen’s children, but we need our elected officials to stop blaming the state and take ownership over finding a solution this worsening revenue crisis.
