ANNUAL REPORT 2021–2022 | 19
• The ABRHS Marching Band, Band, Jazz Band, Orchestra, and Chorus performed throughout the year. A highlight of the year was our Colors of Spring Concert in April at Mechanics Hall in Worcester. Over 200 students participated in this spectacular event. Our 27th Annual Cabaret Night was presented by ABRHS Choruses in November, and our bands performed in Acton’s Memorial Day Parade. • In January, we held our 22nd annual Community Service Awards Night. This event was virtual, and we recognized 580 students who volunteered over 20 hours for a total of over 54,000 volunteer hours in 2021. What an incredible accomplishment during a pandemic! The event included staff presentations, student speakers, a slide show of volunteer activities, and a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. • The Proscenium Circus proudly presented the fall play, Alice in Wonderland , their award-winning production, The Importance of Being Earnest , in March, and the spring musical, Matilda . These in-person performances brought back the magic of live productions to the high school. • In May, we had our 30th annual Scholarship Night in person. Through the support and generosity of the Acton and Boxborough communities, we awarded over 170 local scholarships that totaled about $168,000 . • Our Visual Arts Department installed impressive student exhibits in Student Center South throughout the school year. Additionally, in May, we were able to host our Senior Art Show again at Village Works in Acton. • The Class of 2022 was able to enjoy many end-of- year events in person. On April 29, over 450 student volunteers participated in over 60 service projects in Acton and Boxborough. Our Senior Prom was held on Friday, May 6, and it was great to be back in person. Finally, our Graduation Ceremony returned to our traditional event on Leary Field. Congratulations to our 444 graduates of the class of 2022!
