For immediate release

WEYMOUTH  — Superintendent Jennifer Curtis-Whipple and Weymouth High School Principal Alan Strauss are pleased to announce that 123 seniors at Weymouth High School are among seniors statewide to receive a John and Abigail Adams Scholarship this year.

Two of the recipients of this year’s John and Abigail Adams Scholarship are from last year’s senior class. 

“We are extremely proud of our seniors for earning such high scores on their MCAS testing,” Principal Strauss said. “The John and Abigail Adams Scholarship is a well-earned recognition our students have received that is a tangible example of their dedication and success.”

This scholarship is available to students whose MCAS performance puts them in thetop 25% of their district. To be eligible, students must either score Advanced on the English, Math and Science exams, or Advanced on one exam and High Proficient on the other two. Students take the MCAS tests in the spring of their sophomore year.

Recipients of the Adams Scholarship are granted a four-year scholarship upon their acceptance to a participating Massachusetts public institution of higher education, including the four undergraduate campuses of the University of Massachusetts, all nine state universities and all fifteen community colleges. The exact amount of the Adams Scholarship will depend on the institution in which the student enrolls, but for full-time, in-state students, it currently averages:

  • At the undergraduate campuses of the University of Massachusetts: a credit of $1,575 per year toward total student charges
  • At the state universities: a credit of $1,036 per year toward total student charges
  • At the community colleges: a credit of $740 per year toward total student charges

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Weymouth High School will host a virtual award ceremony in place of its annual in-person award ceremony at a later date.

The following Weymouth High School seniors have earned an Adams Scholarship:

Stephanie Abbott, Luke Adams, John Amaral, Juliana Amendolare, Kaylee Baker, Lawrence Ball, Margaret Ball, Feliz Banson, Brielle Breton, Justine Burcham, Chloe Burke, Ronan Burns, Christina Carr, Linda Chaney, Mary Cipullo, Keith Corey, Matheus Coutinho, Lauren Crisileo, Abigail Cummings, Braedan Cunningham, Justin Curtis, Aidan Day, Conor Denizkurt, Alyssa Deschenes, Jack Desmond, Renay Dilazzaro, Joshua Donggalao, Anthony Doucette, John Doyle, Lauren Drury, Salma El Hammani, Anastasia Ferrara, John Ferrarelli, Brittany Ficcara, Courtney Ficarra, Ronan Folan, Andrew Foley, William Foley, Grace Fuller, Emily Gervais, Nicole Gill, Michael Gozzo, Noah Halifax, Mairead Haughey, Noah Herring, Liam Higgins, Katelyn Horan, Christpher Hultin, Abigail Ierardi, Kerin Johnson, Christelle Joseph, Nicholas Kearney, Grace Keenan, Emily Kilrow, Danielle Koutsainis, Grace Laubenstein, William Livezey-Corr, Jessica Lockhead, Joseph Macaibay, Connor Mackinnon, Noah Madden, Elisa Mahar, Keaton Mangone, Christine Matta, Sarah Maynard, Kerin McCarthy, Olivia McColgan, Coleen McCormack, Robert McCue, Charles McDonald, Lily McDonald, Lindsay McGrath, Alyssa McInnis, Benjamin McLaughlan, Allison Meighan, Brett Miller, Mitchell Mirowski, Emma Monteiro, Erin Moore, Jeffrey Mullin, Sean Mulready, Shourya Nandrajog, Randy Nguy, Connor O’Neil, Diya Ojha, Alessandro Oreadi, Myles Osborne, Courtney Owen, Amara Padula, Marco Padula, William Padula, Patricia Parzych, Michael Pasquale, Adanna Perez-Camacho, Marcus Perriello, Pierrinsky Pierre-Louis, Hayden Pike, Collin Powers, Lilah Read, Tiana Reddick, Arianna Reid, Mary Romano, Hailey Rothwell, Rohan Saini, Jonathan Phillip Sammy, John Savage, Briannah Scott, Anna Sello, Madilyn Silva, Jack Stohrer, David Sugrue, Beth Sweezey, King To, Stavroula Tsallas, Divy Vyas, Audrey Wagner, Abigail Wallace, Leah Walsh, Megan Walsh, Claire Wegrzyn, Warren Wiriadjaja, Timothy Worthy and Jessica Zaniewski.
