• Four Farmington residents were among 1,424 students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) named to the university's Dean's List for academic excellence for the fall 2016 semester. Jason Ashton is a member of the class of 2019 majoring in computer science. Kaitlyn DaSilva is a member of the class of 2019 majoring in mechanical engineering. John Mastroianni is a member of the class of 2017 majoring in industrial engineering. Ian Shusdock is a member of the class of 2017 majoring in computer science and mathematical sciences.
