A symbol of Marlborough Schools' pride now prowls the grounds at the entrance to Whitcomb School!

On June 23, district officials dedicated the new Panther sculpture, which matches the one dedicated at the beginning of the 2015-16 school year at Marlborough High School. The sculptures - created by artist Dale Rogers in collaboration with MHS students - are the culmination of a two-year district artist-in-residence program with Rogers.
