“Congrats to the New Bedford High School Community on the new athletic field, and thanks to the coaches, admins, students and City officials who helped us cut the ribbon and officially open this brand new field Tuesday morning.
“New Bedford’s student-athletes deserve first-rate athletic facilities,” Mayor Jon Mitchell said at Tuesday’s ribbon-cutting for the new athletic field.
Funded with $2.9 million of federal ESSER funds, the state-of-the-art field will be the new home for the NBHS field hockey and lacrosse teams. It’s the latest in a long line of improvements to the NBHS athletic program, including the new pool, softball field, and a weight room/fitness center that rivals what you’d find on a college campus.”
