      On Tuesday, October 24, 2006, the Massachusetts Board of Education voted to require all students to take and successfully complete the Science, Technology and Engineering Test beginning with the class of 2010 and the History and Social Science Test for the class of 2012.  Westborough High School plans to administer the MCAS history exam to all students in their junior year.  Test scores for the History and Social Science Test will be made available to the public by the Department of Education starting in 2009.  See the Department of Education website for additional information.  http://www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/
