William Ostiguy High School
About
William J. Ostiguy High School is a Boston recovery high school for students working to stay sober while earning a diploma. It pairs a standard high school academic curriculum with the life skills that students in recovery need. The school opened in September 2006 through a collaboration between Action for Boston Community Development, the Gavin Foundation and Boston Public Schools, and it operates from ABCD’s Thelma D. Burns Building downtown.
All program staff are certified educators and specialists who provide academic programming and oversight both in and outside of school. Students arrive through many routes, referred by schools, families, courts and state agencies, drug and alcohol treatment programs, community youth programs and residential programs. Every prospective student interviews with the school team before admission, and those enrolled must show commitment to both their recovery and their academic work toward a high school diploma.
