  • I have documents from the 1920's regarding a former student: report cards, faculty photographs, extra curricular pamphlets, etc. Does the school or city have historical archives for which these materials would be appropriate. Thank you for your time and attention.

  • The elevater in Briscoe Middle School needs to be fixed before someone gets hurt in it and fix the key hole on the third floor so the key doesn't get stuck.

  • The school is a mess to say the least. The building is in major need of work and it is what I consider an embarrassment to the city of Beverly. I am deeply upset at the high cost of taxes that I pay to live in this city to have a Middle school that is in such desperate need of repair. The school is also over crowded. It carries more than twice the amount of students that it should. The city decided to shut down the other middle school only to use it for city offices.
