Brockton, MA, April 09, 2026 — New Heights Charter School of Brockton (NHCSB) is pleased to announce the receipt of 300 laptops through the Connected and Online Program, a statewide initiative led by the Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI), a division of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MassTech).
