Did you know the United Arab Emirates were a federation of seven emirates? Or that Maya Lin designed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall in Washington, DC? The Mansfield High School Quiz Show Team knew these answers and many others!

Congratulations to the MHS Quiz Show Team for being one of only 17 high schools in the state to qualify for the prestigious WGBH televised quiz show tournament. Matches will be filmed in January and will be televised in the spring.

The Annual AFL-CIO Scholarship Program is in its 65th year. Through the scholarship program, the Massachusetts AFL-CIO is honored to continue a long tradition of helping students continue their education as they work toward creating bright futures.

The Massachusetts AFL-CIO scholarship program awardees receive between $500 and $16,000 towards their education. Over 40 unions, central labor councils, area businesses and charitable trusts from across Massachusetts participate in awarding scholarships that total nearly half a million dollars. Unions in Massachusetts have given close to $10 million in scholarships since 2000. About 1,500 students take the exam annually to compete for a scholarship. Students with a union affiliation are eligible for both the Massachusetts AFL-CIO awards and those awards listed under their specific local union/central labor council. Massachusetts students that do not have union affiliation are eligible for the Massachusetts AFL-CIO scholarships only.
