We are excited to announce that in December of 2025, the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) invited Madison Park into the Core Program eligibility period! This is the first step in the MSBA construction process to support a major redesign of Madison Park Technical Vocational High School in Roxbury. Read the press release here.
Our investments in Madison Park reflect our commitment to opening doors for Boston’s students into good-paying jobs in high-demand and emerging industries that are deeply connected to Boston’s economic future. In 2023, we completed a feasibility study to develop a program vision for a technical vocational high school and understand the potential of the Madison Park campus. In 2024, we brought on an Owner’s Project Manager and design team to begin translating the program vision into facilities design. This year, Madison Park was invited into the MSBA Core Program’s Eligibility Period to advance this historic investment with state support.Mayor Wu and Superintendent Skipper are also making immediate programmatic investments in Madison so that students benefit from strong CTE programs and a strong school community in the meantime. In May 2025, Mayor Wu signed a historic Project Labor Agreement (PLA) with the Building Trades Union to guarantee apprenticeships to MP building trades graduates, and we are excited for the first class of graduating seniors from Madison Park to enter these strong career pathways in Spring 2026.
