Welcome to the Attleboro High School Web site!
Census 2010 begins: click here.
Did you know? The 2010 census is coming…and it is
important!
Did you know? The census count affects the distribution
of educational funding.
Did you know? The Census Bureau does not share your
personal information with courts, the police, or other
federal departments such as the Internal Revenue Service
and the Department of Homeland Security.
Did you know? Census data directly affect decisions
made on all matters of national and local importance, including
education, employment, veterans’ services, public
health care, rural development, transportation and housing.
Did you know? Federal law requires that everyone participate in the census - you cannot "opt out."
Governor Deval Patrick Commends Students
The Governor writes: "After several years of flat or declining ELA results, this year we saw across the board improvement, as well as noteworthy gains by our Black and Hispanic students. Most impressive is that more than three-quarters of our 10th graders scored Proficient or higher on the English and Math exams; a tremendous improvement over the pace set in 1998, when just one-quarter scored Proficient or higher on both exams."
