PHA in the News

For the fifth year, members of the Kiwanis Club of Somerville delivered over 200 backpacks filled with school supplies for distribution to high school students who are most in need of assistance. The students who will receive these backpacks will be identified by the staff at Somerville High School and the administrators at Prospect Hill Academy.

“We take the opportunity to get in front of teachers during professional development sessions to talk about upcoming food events and stress the importance of our breakfast and lunch programs,” said Michelle Doyle, MS MPH, Meals Program Director for Prospect Hill Academy Charter School.

PHA is thrilled to be one of only 2 schools in Massachusetts and 160 nationally to receive the inaugural CS100 Award for computer science K-5.

Last week, we worked with teachers at Prospect Hill Academy, (PHA), in Somerville, Massachusetts. We have worked alongside the teachers and administrators at their Pre-Grade 3 campus since last June…primarily supporting the kindergarten teachers as they move to a more meaningful, project-based curriculum and more engaging classroom organization. While we were at PHA, we met Marina Seevak, who is also working with the kindergarten teachers. Marina founded the Beautiful Stuff Project so that Pre-Grade 2 children might have access to open-ended materials and loose parts in an organized, efficient way.

Prospect Hill Academy (PHA) has earned the 2022 College Board AP® Computer Science Female Diversity Award, for both Computer Science A (CSA) and Computer Science Principles (CSP).

PHA is one of only 61 schools in the entire country and four in Massachusetts to receive the award for both AP CSA and AP CSP.
