Two New Bedford High School educators have been recognized with "Teacher In Excellence" awards by Mass Insight Education, a statewide group that encourages students to attend and complete college.

Teachers Pamela Oliveira and Nelson Rodrigues were honored this week in Boston. Both were recognized for their work in significantly improving advanced placement test scores of students at New Bedford High. Oliveira teaches AP language and composition, while Rodrigues teaches AP calculus.

Superintendent Dr. Pia Durkin says "the district is proud of hundreds of its dedicated educators, and Mr. Rodrigues and Ms. Oliveira are two shining examples of that dedication."
