With the end of any school year, comes lots of memories. For the high school athletes, coaches, parents, friends, and fans across the state, they can be thankful the Globe’s high school photojournalism program helped capture so many of them.
Some 250 students from 140 Massachusetts high schools signed up to participate in this unique (and free) program in 2024-25. Throughout the school year, their submitted work was used to supplement the Globe’s online high school coverage.
Down below, work from more than 50 of them is on display, representing the best of spring sports.
We thank the students for all of their hard work this year, and we hope the friends and fans out there appreciate all students like these do to promote their teams and athletes here, as well as through their school newspapers, yearbooks, websites, and social media.
