Summary

Perkins Eastman and city staff presented signage and graphics options informed by student work identifying diversity, history and school pride themes. The committee agreed to create a small decision group including students, staff and Revere Historical Society members; meetings are planned for November and February.

Perkins Eastman and project staff presented preliminary signage, graphics and mural concepts for the new Revere High School and asked the Building Committee to nominate members for a small design‑decision group.

Students in a Revere history class contributed three guiding themes — diversity, history and school pride — and identified local topics the students want represented, including Revere Beach, Wonderland, Suffolk Downs and the school's origins. Perkins Eastman showed precedent installations from other school projects that use maps, timelines and neighborhood histories as graphic elements.

Project staff proposed a lightweight commitment for decision‑group members: two in‑person meetings, one in November and a second in February, each about 90–120 minutes during the day to allow student participation. The group would include school building committee members, students, staff and representatives from the Revere Historical Society; Michael Picardi had already indicated interest, and committee members Nick Rystrom and Tom Skorowski volunteered to participate.

Staff said they will follow up by email to finalize membership and will confirm whether additional community members should be included based on mayoral input. The committee did not take a formal vote; it agreed to assemble the group and return with more detailed materials at subsequent meetings.
