CRLS Off Broadway Theatre Society
 The CRLS Off Broadway Theatre Society is a place for any students who enjoy and are interested in theatre. Whether you like to be onstage, behind the curtain, or in the audience, or a mixture of all three- you belong. We are striving to create an inclusive theatre community at CRLS, where students can come together to learn, create, and better their understanding of the art. This group is not a production: meaning that there is no audition or requirement to join, and it is open to anyone interested. Our first meeting is Tuesday, September 22nd at 3:30PM via zoom. We can’t wait to see you there! View the website >>
Remembering Dr. Christopher Saheed, Retired CRLS Principal
 Friends of Cambridge Rindge & Latin School (FOCRLS) would like to share with the community an appreciation of Christopher Saheed, who was CRLS's principal before Damon Smith and a key collaborator in establishing FOCRLS. Dr. Saheed retired in 2011 and moved to Florida, where he passed away on June 25, 2020. When FOCRLS reached out to James Maloney, Chief Operating Officer of the District (Cambridge Public Schools), for a memory about Dr. Saheed, he responded, “I had the good fortune of working closely with Chris during his years as the principal of CRLS on the renovation of the high school. I was struck by his calm, knowledgeable and caring demeanor. All of the buildings on the campus today reflect his vision for the school. In many ways the high school campus is a living memorial to his passion for the students of Cambridge. He was a tremendous leader.” Read the full appreciation here >>

CSV Tutoring & Mentoring Programs
Cambridge School Volunteers (CSV) offers one-to-one remote tutoring and mentoring for Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS) and High School Extension Program (HSEP) students. It's important for students to be able to commit to 1 hour at the same time each week for an academic semester.
Academic Tutoring: Meet one-to-one with a tutor once a week to receive support with one or more academic subjects and/or test preparation.
College and Career Mentoring: Meet one-to-one with a mentor once a week to receive support in planning for your post-secondary life. This can include career and college exploration, college admission essay help, scholarship application support, etc.
Freshmen Peer Mentoring: Freshmen students meet with a peer mentor every other week during the fall semester to assist their transition into high school. This is our first year running this program, so there is limited capacity for participants.
