Notwithstanding the venerable Boston Latin School, the district's image was defined by the chaotic Jeremiah Burke School, which lost its accreditation as Payzant was walking in the door. Admitted to the prestigious Boston Latin school as a seventh grader, he is remembered even today by classmates and teachers as a highly competent student, debater and writer who could be seen reading Foreign Affairs and the Congressional Record during public transportation trips to and from school. Schooling at higher levels was available at private academies and colleges such as the Boston Latin School, Harvard, The College of William and Mary, etc. |
