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 Candidate Stephen Pina
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 100% disabled combat veteran, and a no-nonsense leader who spent over 15 years managing major operations inside the federal government. He’s also run his own businesses and helped other families cut through red tape and bad leadership.
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 Platform
1. Raise the Bar on Academic Achievement
We’ll implement aggressive benchmarks, public dashboards, and state-mandated School Improvement Plansunder M.G.L. c. 69 for underperforming schools. Data-driven accountability is not optional.
2. End the Culture of Illiteracy
Students will not graduate without meeting minimum English Language Arts standards required by theMassachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. If the district fails, state intervention is justified under DESE
guidelines.
3. Teach Kids How to Win at Life
We’ll embed real-world skills—entrepreneurship, discipline, time management—into required courses.Massachusetts General Laws (M.G.L. c. 71, § 1) allow school districts to design local graduation standards
beyond the basics.
4. Build a Vocational High School That Competes.
We’ll create a second public high school with union-tracked vocational education. This aligns with Chapter 74
vocational programs, eligible for state aid and subject to Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
approval.
5. Make Civics a Graduation Requirement
Per M.G.L. c. 71, § 2, civics education is mandated in Massachusetts. We’ll take it a step further: requiring
students to pass the U.S. Citizenship Test to graduate—already law in 18+ states, and growing.
6. Mandatory Personal Finance & Life Skills
statewide as of 2023 in several states, and Massachusetts allows local implementation under M.G.L. c. 71, § 1.
7. Celebrate the American Dream
8. Get Politics Out of the Classroom
balanced instruction and oversight of all materials.
9. One Brockton: United by Values, Not Division
- Celebrate culture—don’t weaponize it. One school system. One city. One standard.
10. Order in the Classroom: Respect. Rules. Results.
- Bad behavior ends where I begin. Violence means real consequences. We protect good students and teachers—period.
11. Police the Perimeter: 24/7 School Security
We don’t need surveillance—we need deterrence. More officers. More coverage. Less chaos.
