The Quincy School Committee has a policy of granting Open Enrollment on a space-available basis.  When making the decision to admit open enrollment students, the Superintendent must consider the capacity of the school building to accommodate Open Enrollment students both for the present school year and future years.   Click here to access the Open Enrollment link on the QPS website.

The 1.2 mile parade steps-off at 7 p.m. at the intersection of Coddington and Hancock Streets and proceeds north on Hancock Street to Merrymount Parkway.

The celebration portion of the evening is held at Pageant Field following the parade and consists of a flag raising of an impressive 30′ x 60′ version of Old Glory, a fly-over, a patriotic medley, and presentation of awards.  The evening is capped off by a dazzling 30-minute fireworks display over Black’s Creek.
