Mattahunt Elementary Wins $100K for Transformation and Innovative Haitian-Creole Program

 

Mattahunt Elementary School in #Mattapan has been honored with the prestigious $100,000 ‘School on the Move’ prize, recognizing its incredible turnaround from one of the state’s lowest-performing schools to a beacon of academic success. ⁠

One of the most remarkable aspects of Mattahunt’s success is its pioneering Haitian-Creole dual-language program, the first of its kind in the nation. This innovative program fosters bilingualism in students, honoring the rich cultural heritage of the local #Haitian-American community while promoting academic excellence. The curriculum’s inclusive approach has set a model for schools across the country, creating a welcoming environment where students can academically and culturally thrive.⁠

The prize money will further enhance the school, with plans to introduce new enrichment programs to continue its upward trajectory.⁠

Mattahunt Elementary’s victory is not only a win for the school but also a proud moment for the entire Mattapan community, particularly the Haitian-American families who have been instrumental in supporting the school’s growth and success. ⁠
