USM Pres. Joe Paul just offered all MSMS c/o 2024 graduates a scholarship for 4 years of tuition. The scholarships will stack, so many of our kids will qualify for free college. More proof that MSMS grads are college ready. SMTTT! I challenge other IHL schools to follow.

Do you want kids to understand history instead of what their news feed says is history? My colleague, Chuck Yarborough, helps you figure out how to do that and explains why it’s crucial in the Emerson Collective pod below. @OurTowns @msmsbluewaves https://t.co/Qb8L7BPwP6
