Brighton Main Streets

Brighton Main Streets is heartbroken by the tragic passing of Louisa Gag.

Louisa was a thoughtful, compassionate, and dedicated public servant who cared deeply about the people and neighborhoods of Boston. We had the privilege of working with her on the Bluebikes station project in Brighton, and throughout that collaboration she was a caring advocate who listened, brought people together, and always sought solutions that would best serve the community.

Her professionalism, kindness, and unwavering commitment to making Boston safer and more accessible left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to work with her. Her impact will continue to be felt in the streets, neighborhoods, and public spaces she helped shape.

We extend our deepest condolences to Louisa’s family, friends, colleagues at the City of Boston, and all who knew and loved her. Boston has lost an extraordinary planner, advocate, and human being far too soon.

May her memory be a lasting inspiration to all who continue the work of building a safer, more connected, and more welcoming city.

Let’s all give the students and educators a huge shout out for these amazing accomplishments 🙌

Some schools measure success by square footage.

We prefer report cards. 😉

The 2025–2026 school year has officially become the most successful in Shaloh House history.

✨ Record enrollment — the highest in our school's history.

🎓 100% acceptance to Boston Latin School — every single applicant got in (3 out of 3).

🦘 Three students (Grades 2, 4, and 6) ranked among the Top 20 in the U.S. in Math Kangaroo.

🥇 Three sixth graders earned Gold Medals at the International Math Olympiad, placing them in the top 2% of students worldwide.

✍️ And one of our students won 1st place in a nationwide essay competition, bringing a $25,000 award to Shaloh House.

Not bad for a school where everyone knows every child's name.

These achievements didn't happen because we teach to the test. They happened because curiosity is encouraged, questions are welcomed, hard work matters, and children are challenged to reach their full potential.

To our incredible students, dedicated teachers, supportive families, and everyone who makes Shaloh House what it is — thank you.

We're proud of what we've built together.
