About
More than a century has passed since Mr. Taft founded our school. While the world and the school have changed dramatically, his fundamental values endure: work hard, without regard for public acclaim; develop all your talents: academic, artistic, and athletic; and most importantly, give of yourself to others.
Admission
“The Taft Admission office seeks students who will infuse our community with intellectual and social curiosity, while embracing a joyful balance and a steadfast commitment to excellence in all they pursue.’’Amanda Bohnsack, Director of Enrollment
Academics
Our students develop the skills, knowledge, and habits of mind to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and responsible global citizens.
Arts
Success in the Arts is bred of self-confidence; a fearlessness or joy in the process, more than the outcome.
Athletics
In building one of the most successful athletic programs in New England, Taft coaches promote fair play, respect for opponents, a love of the game, competitive spirit, and team loyalty.
Campus Life
Taft is a school with heart. Our sense of community is strong, and extends to every aspect of campus life.
Giving
Taft has been built, brick by brick, through the collective generosity of generations of alumni, parents, families, and friends.
Living Our Motto
Not to be served but to serve is more than our motto, it is the underlying principle that shapes our perspectives and guides our actions every day.

Abbott Elementary S01e08 Bdmv 〈1080p〉

Let’s crack open a warm, suspiciously fermented cider and talk about this week’s (Best Digital Moment of the Week). The Setup: Field Trip Gone Sideways The episode follows the gang on a chaotic field trip to a local apple orchard (sponsored by "Zip Lap Cider"—a name so aggressively generic it loops back to being hilarious). Ava is useless, Melissa is scheming, and Jacob is… Jacob.

Just don’t drink the Zip Lap Cider. That stuff is definitely 8% alcohol. What was your BDMV from this episode? Drop it in the comments—just don’t @ me about the "bus safety protocol" plot hole. 🍎 abbott elementary s01e08 bdmv

Welcome back, faculty room faithful. We are officially past the halfway point of Abbott Elementary’s sensational first season, and Episode 8, "Zip Lap Cider," is the one where the show stopped being just a funny mockumentary and started being a romantic funny mockumentary. Let’s crack open a warm, suspiciously fermented cider

And then—the mic drop. He pauses. Looks at her. The tiniest, most microscopic corner of his mouth twitches. Just don’t drink the Zip Lap Cider

"Come on. You didn’t have even a little bit of fun today?"

"I don’t have fun."
