Somerville High School (SHS) and Somerville Public Schools invite all interested community members to visit during one of three Open House events on February 11 and February 12. Staff will provide an overview presentation on the state of the art facility before students lead community members on a walking tour of the building.
Tours will be held on Wednesday, February 11, from 8:15 – 10:00 a.m., and on Thursday, February 12, during two sessions: 8:15 – 10:00 a.m. and 12:45 – 2:15 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, tours will be rescheduled for February 24, with times to be determined.

Parking is limited around the school and it is recommended that attendees plan extra time to park or use alternative means of transportation.
