• Belmont Schools To Launch 'Multiple Pathways' to Graduation Program (belmontvoice.org) — Belmont High School is preparing to launch a new "multiple pathways" program next fall, giving students structured options in business/finance and health sciences that include coursework and 100 hours of hands-on learning. As Massachusetts tightens graduation standards, Belmont is already ahead on capstone requirements and is applying for state Innovation Pathways status, which could expand internships and career-readiness opportunities for local teens.
• Thanksgiving Football Game Move Sparks Division (belmontvoice.org) — Belmont High's traditional Thanksgiving football game against Watertown is being moved to the Wednesday night before the holiday this year, sparking strong opinions across town. School leaders say the change should boost attendance, but players, alumni, and parents are split, with some launching a petition to restore the long-standing Thanksgiving morning kickoff.
