CMHS seniors Natalie Mosher,  Sabrina Pangione, Ryan Semple, Connor Skinner, and Madison Staples, were recently nominated as James Otis Scholars and participated in the ninth annual Lecture Series at the Massachusetts State House in Boston on September 19th.

The Massachusetts chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates holds the annual event to commemorate Constitution Day, the signing of the US Constitution on September 17.

Students sat in the Chamber of the House of Representative in the State House and heard a panel of law experts deliver speeches and answer questions during the program– Religion and the Law.

The students enjoyed the field trip, learned insightful information about the separation of church and state and are now recognized as “James Otis Scholars.”
