School mission
The mission of Abelard Reynolds School 42 is to provide a community that is safe, caring and student-centered. We aspire to develop scholars by illuminating their passions, gifts and talents. We will ensure that all scholars engage in rich learning experiences that empower them to think critically, solve problems, and gain the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in middle and high school.
At 42, our smaller community allows students to work in small academic groups to accelerate their learning or get the support that is needed. Our arts department provides a variety of opportunities from instrumental band, a musical, set design, stage crew, art shows, and contests.
