Day on the Hill

Advocating for your priorities at the State House

MASC will once again hold its annual Day on the Hill legislative advocacy event on Tuesday, May 6, 2025. This event provides school committee members, superintendents, and students with the opportunity to engage directly with state legislators and advocate for MASC’s policy priorities at the State House.

The program will begin in the morning at the UMass Club in Boston, followed by lunch at the State House, where students from Massachusetts vocational-technical culinary programs will prepare and serve meals. While the full agenda is still being finalized, attendees should plan to schedule meetings with their local legislators in advance to discuss key education issues after lunch. Members are also encouraged to invite their legislators to join them for lunch as an opportunity to connect in a more informal setting.

As in past years, students from your district are welcome to attend. There is no fee for student registration—be sure to register them using the form below.
