Stoughton 

Stoughton Public Schools is a great place to work. Stoughton is a district that focuses on the academics, athletics, and the arts. Inside and outside of the classroom, you can see that Stoughton school pride on display among our students, our staff, and our entire community. A few of the things that set us apart from other districts are: our award-winning music program, our commitment to technology in all subjects and our STEM offerings for all students, and the work we have done in the area of school safety. Stoughton is a proud member of the Massachusetts Partnership for Diversity in Education. Attracting, hiring and maintaining teachers and staff members of color is a goal of the district and its schools.
