State Champion Girl’s Soccer Team Visits State House 

The girls’ soccer team won the MIAA Division II State Championship in November 2024 and visited the State House on Monday, Feb. 10 to commemorate their accomplishment. 

The visit was hosted by Sen. Bruce Tarr and State Representatives Sally Kerans, Kristin Kassner and Brad Jones. Additionally, State Representatives Tram Nguyen and Adrianne Ramos each sent a staff member to the state house to assist with honoring the team.

During the visit, the team was given a tour of the State House and was presented with individual citations by Sen. Tarr who spoke at the informal Senate session where he thanked the team for representing Masconomet. The team also received citations from their respective state representatives. 

Also during the visit, the team was invited onto the Senate floor for photo opportunities, went onto the balcony, and waved at passersby on the Boston Common. 

The team also had the honor of seeing King Abdullah II of Jordan, who was visiting Gov. Maura Healy. 

This is the first time Masconoment Girls Soccer has won a state championship since 1989. The team held a 22-0-1 record throughout the season, ranking first in their division, and won the state championship 5-0 over Duxbury. Throughout the season, the team had 19 shutout games and outscored opponents 101-6. The seniors on the team will leave Masconomet with a career record of 74 wins, five losses, and five ties, with three undefeated regular seasons. 

“It has been an incredible honor to watch these girls achieve their goals and be recognized for all their hard work throughout the season,” said Masconomet High School Varsity Girls Soccer Coach Alison Lecesse. “We had an amazing time at the State House. It allowed our team to meet Sen. Tarr and state representatives and celebrate their accomplishments on a larger scale.”

The Masconomet Girls Soccer program has been coached by Lecesse, Assistant Varsity Coach Dan Bisceglia, Junior Varisty 1 Coach Krista Marcoulier, and Junior Varsity 2 Coach Scott Marcoulier. 

“I would like to thank Sen. Tarr and State Representatives Sally Kerans, Kristin Kassner and Brad Jones for inviting the soccer team to the State House,” said Superintendent Harvey. “The team should be immensely proud of their success both on and off the field.” 

Holocaust Remembrance at Masconomet Middle School

On Thursday, February 13th, Debbie Coltin from the Lappin Foundation led a powerful all school assembly at Masconomet Middle School to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day which occurred at the end of January. Holocaust Remembrance Day marks the day that Allied Forces librated the Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Germany. Coltin showed a video clip of Holocaust survivor Sonia Weitz, who lived locally on the North Shore before her passing, who describes her experiences as a child in various concentration camps around Germany. You can watch the video here and read her book of poems here. Please consider discussing this important history with your child.
