Take Back Our Schools. Bring Back Our City.
Join the movement to restore discipline, pride, and real leadership to Brockton's schools. No more excuses. No more chaos. Just action.
Champion City Project – Brockton 2025 is a movement to reclaim our identity as the City of Champions—starting with our public schools. Led by Stephen Pina, a father, veteran, and Ward 1 candidate for School Committee, this project isn’t about political talking points. It’s about getting results.
If you're tired of teacher shortages, crumbling trust, low test scores, and City Hall treating schools like a piggy bank—you're in the right place.
Meet the Author of the Project
Born and raised in Brockton, Stephen Pina isn’t just from the City of Champions—he lived it. A former Brockton High football player, he grew up with pride, grit, and a team-first mindset. Back then, he would’ve died for this city—and truth be told, he still would.
After serving as a U.S. Army Airborne Ranger and spending years in federal leadership, Stephen moved back to Brockton to raise his four kids in the same city that made him who he is. Because despite everything that’s broken—he still believes Brockton is worth fighting for.
He’s a father of four students in the Brockton Public Schools, a disabled veteran, and a no-nonsense leader who spent over 20 years managing major operations inside the federal government. He’s also run his own businesses and continues to help Veterans.
Now, he's taking the fight to the School Committee—not to join the club, but to change the game.
“I didn’t come back to watch Brockton slide into mediocrity. I came back to raise hell, raise standards, and raise this city back up to Champion status.”

The Champion City Project - Brockton 2025
1. Raise the Bar on Academic Achievement
Under M.G.L. c. 69, §§ 1I & 1S, Brockton is required to submit School Improvement Plans—but our current 2022–2027 Strategic Plan lacks urgency and transparency. I’ll push for quarterly benchmarks, public dashboards by ward, and progress reports at School Committee meetings.2. End the Culture of Illiteracy
No student should graduate without being able to read or write—period. State law (M.G.L. c. 69, §§ 1I & 1S) requires schools to hit literacy benchmarks. Brockton’s plan talks about it—I’ll actually enforce it. I’ll push for quarterly reading scores to be posted publicly, and I’ll hold school leaders accountable in open meetings. If the district keeps failing, I won’t sit quietly—I’ll demand state intervention. No more excuses. No more passing failure forward.3. Create a "Win at Life" Graduation Track
I’ll push for a new graduation path focused on business and entrepreneurship—covering marketing, eCommerce, branding, and real-world financial skills. M.G.L. c. 71, § 1 gives us the authority to create local standards, and I’ll use it to help students graduate ready to build and lead, not just punch a clock.4. Build a Vocational High School That Competes.
I’ll fight to create a second public high school focused on Chapter 74-approved vocational training, with direct pipelines to union jobs, skilled trades, and industry certifications. It’s time Brockton students had a real choice—and a shot at high-paying, hands-on careers right out of high school.
5. Real-Time Financial Dashboard for Taxpayers
Right now, Brockton’s school budget is buried in PDFs and full of unanswered questions. Under M.G.L. c. 44, § 53A, taxpayers have a right to transparency—but they’re not getting it. I’ll build a real-time dashboard showing every dollar spent—from salaries to software. No more hiding. No more confusion. Just clear, honest accountability.
6. Enforce the Personal Finance Graduation Requirement
7. Curriculum Transparency for Every Parent
8. Restore Real Discipline in Our Schools
9. Expand the TAG Program Through 12th Grade
10. Accountability at Every Level
I’ll make sure that School Committee meeting, attendance, votes, and response times publicly—so parents know who’s showing up and who’s slacking off. This is backed by Massachusetts Open Meeting Law (M.G.L. c. 30A, §§ 18–25), and I’ll make sure it’s enforced.11. School Safety is Non-Negotiable
I’ll enforce clear codes of conduct, require mandatory reporting, and expand the School Police force to 22 full-time officers. I’ll push for a Public Safety Council that will write the grants to fund new hires, training, and equipment—because safety isn’t optional. This aligns with the Massachusetts Safe and Supportive Schools Framework (M.G.L. c. 69, § 1P) and federal Clery Act (20 U.S.C. § 1092(f)).12. Honor the Backbone of Our Schools
I’ll fight for better pay, job security, and development opportunities for custodians, cafeteria staff, certified & support workers, bus drivers, and school safety teams—many protected under union contracts and federal labor law (NLRA). These essential workers deserve respect, not leftovers.How You Can Help Rebuild the City of Champions
