of scholarship aid for diversity initiative students
The NBSS workforce development initiative
seeks to enroll more young Bostonians from
underserved neighborhoods in the nine-month
locksmithing and carpentry training programs and
work with them as they embark on careers serving
their communities. Lana began immediately making
connections with community groups and Boston
schools as part of this effort. Grants from local
foundations provide administrative and
scholarship support.
The school has begun cultivating relationships
with counselors, headmasters, principals, teachers
and parents of Boston Public School’s Madison
Park Technical Vocational High School, Boston Arts
Academy and Boston English High School and
has begun to create articulation agreements with
these schools. The articulation agreements vary
based on the school but may include making seats
in the full-time programs available for qualified
students if they meet application deadlines and
include the Boston Foundation and the Copeland
Family Foundation.
THE PRESIDENT’S SCHOLARSHIP
In 2012, as part of the school’s commitment to workforce development and training Boston residents,
the President’s Scholarship Award was initiated.
The North Bennet Street School scholarship was
established in partnership with the City of Boston
to award one full-tuition scholarship to a Boston
resident each year.
When Keimody Crockett, the 2013 recipient of
the President’s Scholarship received his acceptance
letter and learned that he would benefit from a
full-tuition scholarship, his mother called a “family
meeting.” She gathered his grandfather and godfather (who has a construction business) and Keimody
to talk about how everyone would work together to
help Keimody through the NBSS program.
Keimody was at the new building dedication event

At times it was like a movie on fast forward, the way the North Street building project
went from a vision to reality in under two years. This brief timeline gives a sense of the
intense activity and incredible collaboration and teamwork needed to accomplish the
project. Everyone—donors, staff, faculty, students, trade professionals, vendors and
construction workers—did what was needed to accommodate others, complete their
job and ensure that school opened on September 9, 2013.

Through the generosity of a wide range of donors,
including both longtime supporters and new friends
who became engaged through the capital campaign,
the 2012–2013 Annual Fund exceeded its goal by
$46,000 for a total of just over $416,000. This
record-breaking total helps ensure the success of
the school’s transition to the North Street building.
Year to year, programs are taught, students learn and

At the beginning of this project there
were some, including me, who thought
it would be difficult to leave the old
building and all its history. But, as the
new building took shape, I recognized
the exciting possibilities and now those
possibilities are becoming realities.
Simply by stepping in the front door,
anyone who had doubts is won over and
excited about what the new building
means for the future of the school.
