MSN Families

MSN families come from three counties (Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin) and over 22 towns, from throughout the Pioneer Valley. Our school has a strong sense of community and reflects and welcomes diversity in all its meanings: economic, racial, ethnic, cultural, religious, political, marital status, sexual preference, family structure, learning style, and abilities/disabilities.
