Two city residents are recognized for their role in education

On Tuesday June 17, the New Bedford Educators Association presented its first annual Friends of Education Awards to two city residents. Carol Strupczewki and Eddie Johnson were recognized for their efforts on behalf of New Bedford’s students and teachers.

Carol Strupczewki taught at New Bedford High School for thirty-one years before retiring nine years ago. Eddie Johnson was a member of the Superintendent’s Roundtable and assisted with the district’s efforts to implement an environmental science curriculum.

The pair received their plaques during the Association’s annual celebration for the district’s retiring educators.
