HINGHAM - April 13, 2026 - The Hingham School Committee celebrated a historic milestone on Monday night as student athletic participation reached a record-breaking 87%, and the board voted unanimously to withdraw from the state’s School Choice program to protect internal resources. The session also marked an emotional farewell for long-serving member Michelle Ayer, who stepped down after nine years and over 800 meetings of service to the district.
