Attention Graduates of BMC Durfee High School, Robert L. Medeiros Resiliency Preparatory Academy, or Stone Day School (2003–2024):
A recent change in state policy has eliminated the MCAS as a graduation requirement. As a result, students who previously earned a certificate instead of a diploma may now apply for a transcript review.
