Madison Park Technical Vocational High School is a public vocational technical high school located in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is the only technical vocational high school located in within the city of Boston. It is part of Boston Public Schools.
Madison Park is a large school with an enrollment of approximately 1,000 students from grades 9-12.
Madison Park is renowned for their powerful boys' basketball program, which is one of the most successful programs in the state.
Students are enrolled into their freshman academic year where they take exploratory vocational career trials by semester. By the end of the school year students make the choice of what certification program they will major in for the remainder of the Sophomore year to Senior Year.
The School also provides English as a Secondary Language (ESL), for students of bilingual origin for all grades.
Madison Park High has Vocational Training courses split into 2 Academies, according to their career:
Students study their vocational courses on a week in - week out bi-weekly schedule. Academics on one week, followed by Vocational Study the next week. The main educational academics (ie: Math, English, Science etc). may also be taught during a vocational week in the event that vocation courses did not carry majority of the school day. During commencement exercises, graduates are awarded training certifications along with their diploma. The certification granted them the possibility of going on to work study / internships of their vocational related field. In the past, 12th graders in their final term who completed academic courses before the vocation course could not receive a vocation certification unless they completed their vocational study and the same for finishing vocational study first before the academic, this at times in the past made it a 5-Year school under circumstances.
