The Dedham Public School System (Dedham Public Schools) is a PK–12 graded school district in Dedham, Massachusetts. It is the oldest public school system in the United States.

History

On January 1, 1644, by unanimous vote, the Town of Dedham authorized the first taxpayer-funded public school in the United States,{{sfn|Slafter|1905|p=07}}[1] "the seed of American education."[2] Other schools, including Boston Latin School and the Town of Rehoboth make similar claims, but Dedham's was the first to be supported exclusively by tax dollars.[2] The first schoolhouse was built in present-day Dedham Square near the First Church by Thomas Thurston.[4]

Its first teacher, Rev. Ralph Wheelock, was paid 20 pounds annually to instruct the youth of the community. Descendants of these students would become presidents of Dartmouth College, Yale University, and Harvard University.[1]

While living in Dedham, Horace Mann served on the School Committee.

Closed schools

There are three schools that have closed within the current borders of the Town of Dedham: the Ames School, the Quincy School, and the Dexter School. The Ames School building was sold and is currently an office building in Dedham Square and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[7] The Quincy School in East Dedham was used until 1982{{sfn|Dedham Historical Society|2001|p=24}} and later sold to a developer. The Dexter School in Upper Dedham is still owned by the School Department but is leased out to private companies and The Education Collaborative.[8]

In recent years the school has seen tremendous growth in both the number of students taking Advanced Placement courses and in qualifying scores on the exams.[23] The schools athletic program offers 26 varsity sports with a mascot known as the Marauders,[24] and 26 co-curricular clubs and activities.[25] Each student also receives a Google Chromebook from the school.

Associated organizations

The Dedham Education Foundation distributes funds from their endowment to award grants to teachers for or classroom activities or other teacher initiatives and ideas. These include including storytellers, authors-in-residence, art enrichment, literacy and reading programs, social skills programs, and other multi-cultural programs. The Foundation has funded field trips such as Museum of Science, Plimoth Plantation, and The Blue Hills Trailside Museum. Funds have been provided for student performances including live theater productions, drama club, and both the middle and high school choruses. Also, Science Museum presentations and learning kits have been made available through Foundation funding.[27]

The Dedham Educational Partnership works to strengthen the home and school partnership by providing e-mail newsletters for each of the schools' Parent-Teacher Organizations.[28]
