2014 School on the move winner
The William Monroe Trotter Innovation School is Edvestor's 2014 School on the Move Winner! The School on the Move Prize is awarded annually to one of Boston's most improving schools to recognize their progress. Other finalists included Orchard Gardens and the Hurley School. The prize is $100,000.
Key strategies for improvement included: highly collaborative school culture ensuring teachers and administrators hold one another accountable to high standards, use of data to plan, implement and monitor supports for students struggling academically or socio-academically, and a commitment to family engagement that has led to parents playing a more visible and active role at the school. 
Community service day, fall 2014Over 50 partners, teachers, families and students joined together on Saturday, Oct. 25 to make the school a better place. Although there were fewer participants than last Fall's highest participated event to date, this year was extremely well organized and the group was able to complete a significant amount of work! Special thanks to Global Ministries, Grace Chapel and the Parent Council for organizing, as well as Big Sisters for soliciting donations! Also, thank you to Mr. Egan, Mr. Post, Ms. Tamara, and Mr. Canney for the lovely mural!
