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!
