The Teen Truth Program has resumed at the local high school, providing a peer-to-peer mentorship initiative where upperclassmen guide underclassmen in essential skills such as communication, career exploration, and goal setting. This program, which takes place every Thursday, aims to foster connections between students of different grades.

In addition to the Teen Truth Program, the school has recently hosted college representatives from institutions including Solvay Regina University, Emmanuel College, and LaSalle College, offering juniors and seniors valuable insights into their future educational options. The annual open house held on October 8 allowed parents to engage with teachers and understand their children's learning environments.

Looking ahead, the school district will observe a half day on October 10, during which seniors will take their class photo for the yearbook. The same day will also feature the annual All Cape College Fair at Barnstable High School, providing another opportunity for students to interact with college representatives.

In administrative updates, Paul Hilton announced his resignation from the Cape Cod Collaborative after two decades of service. The committee is set to vote on a new candidate following interviews with three qualified individuals. Additionally, a professional development opportunity for teachers is scheduled for November 5.

The next school committee meeting will take place on October 29, where the 2024 MCAS achievement and accountability scores will be presented, alongside an evaluation of the superintendent's performance. The committee is also preparing for interviews for an open seat, with discussions on potential dates and questions to be finalized soon. The final vote for the new appointment is expected on November 12, with the meeting open to public attendance.
