The BC-Harvard-Medford Study is a research-practice partnership led by Dr. Nancy Hill of Harvard University, Dr. Belle Liang of Boston College, and Dr. John Perella, former head of Medford High School, now head of Revere High School. This longitudinal study follows adolescents across high school, focusing on economically and ethnically diverse youth and their emerging sense of purpose and views of the economy as they influence post-secondary transitions to college and career.
