ADAMS, Mass. — Berkshire Arts & Technology (BArT) Charter Public School is proud to announce that 13 of the 35 members of the BArT Class of 2026 have been awarded the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship, a merit-based scholarship that recognizes academic achievement on the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) exam.

"We are incredibly proud of these students for their hard work, persistence, and academic excellence," said Director of Counseling Stephanie Maselli.
The John and Abigail Adams Scholarship provides a tuition credit for up to eight semesters of undergraduate education at any Massachusetts state college or university. Scholarship eligibility is determined by MCAS performance, recognizing students who score in the Advanced category on at least one high school MCAS test, score Proficient or Advanced on the remaining tests, and rank in the top 25 percent of their school district based on combined scores.
The scholarship's purpose is threefold:
- To reward and inspire academic excellence;
- To encourage high-performing students to pursue higher education within Massachusetts; and
- To provide financial support to college-bound families.
"This recognition reflects the deep commitment our students and teachers share to rigorous learning and achievement," said Dr. Joe Huston, Principal
