Framingham High School

[7] In 1958, mid year, a new building on Flagg Drive replaced the original high school on Union Avenue that was built in the 1920s.

The original building was eventually converted to house several facilities, including the Danforth Museum and the Callahan Senior Center.

[10] In recent years, Framingham High has been labeled an "over-performing" school on standardized assessments[citation needed], compared to other districts of similar student populations.

Noting that 69 percent of Framingham students are considered proficient in English after three or more years[13] and the school has higher graduation rates and MCAS scores than most other districts with large groups of English-learners.

Only 17 percent of Framingham's English Language Learners drop out of school, half that of districts with similar demographics.

[citation needed] Part of this successes is attributed to Framingham's use of a provision in the Massachusetts law by having parents waive their right to an all-English education.

The school offers and competes competitively in a number of sports, including dance, cross-country, outdoor track, indoor track, cheerleading, baseball, basketball, field hockey, fencing, american football, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, swimming, softball, wrestling, and volleyball.

[26] The Drama Company presents three annual shows, one of which is a one-act play for a statewide festival ran by the Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild.

[28] In 2006, and 10 years later in 2016, the Drama Company won the METG state finals with their productions of Tales of Trickery (2006) and Sideways Stories from Wayside School (2016).

The station also airs numerous sports games, as well as student-produced movies, music videos, and public service announcements.

George Perrone, now-retired Music Director, brought a contingent of musicians to perform at several venues in Lomonosov.
