Wayland METCO

Wayland became a METCO community in 1968. The year 2019 marks Wayland’s 51st year in METCO.  There are 136 METCO students in Wayland. Elliott S. Frances was the first METCO student to graduate from Wayland High School in 1971. Wayland is also one of ten METCO communities that participate in EMI (Empowering Multicultural Initiatives). EMI is a non-profit educational collaborative that provides teachers with training around issues of race and racism within the educational setting.

The current vision of the METCO program in Wayland is to help all Boston resident students succeed academically and fulfill their dreams of graduation and ultimately attend college or work. The program benefits Wayland METCO students to embrace differences and grow in one community. Furthermore, we foster collaboration between Wayland residents with parents and students of Wayland residing in Boston throughout the school district. Community and school partnerships help all students succeed in a racially diverse setting.
