What’s older than electricity, George Washington, and the United States? The Mather Elementary School!
In 1639, Dorchester residents created the first-ever tax-funded elementary school in North America,
and a revolution in education was born. Now, 375 years later, we're thrilled to celebrate our place in history –
and we hope YOU will be part of this unforgettable year!

The last Hurrah!

The Mather 375 Committee concluded our year-long celebration on Saturday, May 30, 2015, with Cheers! The Mather Celebrates Old Friends and New Beginnings, honoring departing Principal Emily Cox.

mr. president, will you come to our birthday party?

Dubbed the "cute campaign" by local media, the Mather School has set out to invite all to support America's first tax-supported public elementary school's 375th birthday activities!  We have even invited the President and First Lady!  Check out our video invitation, could you say no to this??  http://vimeo.com/83638485
