 NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Amsler Campus Center erupted in raucous jubilation on Wednesday night as the McCann Technical School class of 2013 celebrated the end of their high school career.
The 96 graduates in green and white tossed caps, confetti, beach balls and carnations into the air with a roar upon receiving their diplomas.
Superintendent James Brosnan called for them to remember those bonds that knit the class, a blend of 15 communities that had worked and studied together over the past four years.
He also told them to "use your sense of humor, which you have always maintained — sometimes a little too much — but it's OK and it worked out well."

 DALTON, Mass. — Colleges across the state are sending graduates off with hard-earned degrees — and mountains of debt.

Paul Mark is leading an investigation into ways to reduce that burden.
The Peru Democrat was chosen to chair a five-member joint subcommittee that will spend nearly a year looking at the causes behind rising student debt and ways to diminish it. "The purpose is to find out if there is something to be done on the state level to alleviate the growing problem," Mark

08:50PM / Thursday, May 23, 2013 | |
 NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Conte School project is embarking on an "extremely aggressive" schedule to open for fall 2015. The project, approved by the Massachusetts School Building Authority last fall, has fallen behind several months because of a citizen's petition that put the $30 million K-7 school before a public vote.
