In the fall, McIntosh will be studying political science and economics at Northeastern University.
Sullivan, the daughter of Erin and Noelle Sullivan of Williamstown, was chosen by the Mount Greylock faculty to speak at graduation. She has earned the highest respect from the teachers who have worked with her due to her kind, compassionate nature and her determination to succeed.
She has demonstrated her ability to master challenging coursework, and, upon graduation, will have successfully completed seven Advanced Placement courses and a dual enrollment course at Williams College.

Lanesborough Officials Review Schools' Budgets

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Town officials Monday appeared generally receptive to the fiscal year 2027 spending plans for the two public school districts that serve the town.
Superintendents from the Northern Berkshire Vocational Regional School District (McCann Technical School) and Mount Greylock Regional School District presented their respective FY27 budgets to a joint meeting of the town's Finance Committee and Select Board.
Both districts are sending significantly higher assessments for approval at Lanesborough's annual town meeting in June.
McCann Tech, which constituted a $317,109 expenditure for the town in the current fiscal year, is seeking $463,978 for the fiscal year that begins on July 1 even though the school's operating budget is up just 3.2 percent year to year.
The 46 percent increase in Lanesborough's share of McCann Tech's budget is is due to two factors: a rise in enrollment of town residents at the vocational school from 20 in 2025 to 29 in this school year and a capital assessment for the first round of payments — for interest only — for a roof and window replacement project on the North Adams campus.
The Mount Greylock assessment, a much larger component of Lanesborough's property tax bill, is up 10.99 percent from FY26 to FY27, from $6.8 million to $7.6 million.
Mount Greylock Superintendent Joseph Bergeron gave a budget presentation similar to one he has delivered twice to the district's School Committee and again last month to the Williamstown Finance Committee, explaining that while the FY27 budget maintains level services to students with a net reduction of three positions, a series of factors are driving much larger assessments to Mount Greylock's two member towns.
Bergeron answered that officials in both member towns told the district they did not want Mount Greylock using taxpayers' money to build their reserves. click for more
