More Information
Mass Academy appreciates the efforts of all teachers across the Commonwealth, and established this annual event as a way to celebrate the work of those teachers who have had an impact on our students' lives. "We appreciate the fact that our students' success is a collaborative effort," said director Michael Barney. "We recognize that their sending school districts and the exemplary instruction that they have received in their prior years should be celebrated. Our job is to help the students continue their journey toward excellence. We prepare them to succeed at the university level a year early. This is a great model and one that we hope the Commonwealth and the nation recognizes as an exemplar."
