Mayor Jon Mitchell unveiled the 2024 Mayor’s List at the New Bedford Art Museum on Wednesday, the 12th annual celebration of the top 10 academically ranked New Bedford High School seniors.
The ceremony recognizing the City’s highest achieving students also highlighted their extracurricular activities, the colleges they will attend, potential fields of study, and career goals. All of the awardees are enrolled in NBHS’ Academy of Honors. As in previous years, this year’s list includes students who reside in surrounding towns that elected to enroll in the Academy of Honors through the district’s “school choice” program.
“The Mayor’s List represents academic excellence, and it reflects the commitment of the City and School District to showcase high achievement,” Mayor Mitchell said. “I congratulate this year’s members, and I can’t wait to see what they accomplish at the next level.”
