may seem irrelevant, having more technological integration both digitally and physically has resulted in the students’ greater acceptance and willingness to learn and engage with unfamiliar technology. This shift in student perspective toward tech is just one example of the subtle factors driving Norwell’s academic success; it will greatly shape the learning environment of the new district high school currently being planned for. Norwell is currently processing the benefits and challenges of AI upon education and its students. AI has the potential to elevate educational standards and transform classroom learning to an even larger degree than the advent of the scientific calculator. The district’s secondary staff is already researching AI applications and developing internal guidelines to be integrated into future renditions of its strategic plan. STUDENTS AND FACULTY PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE It is important to note that Norwell students perform well under the district strategy because as students progress, the curriculum becomes as rigorous as it is diverse. Norwell Public School’s prides itself on providing a comprehensive curriculum for upper-grade students. The district’s status exemplifies this commitment to a robust academic foundation as an AP Scholar School for the past four years. All students take four years of English, math, social studies, and science, and Norwell’s science curriculum even includes advanced courses such as biotechnology and medicinal chemistry. Seniors have the opportunity to engage in internships with local businesses, gaining real-world experience in various fields. 399 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 05, ISSUE 07 NORWELL PUBL IC SCHOOLS
