Education
When he was first elected to Congress, John Tierney secured a seat on the Education and Labor Committee where he has tirelessly worked to improve educational opportunities for Massachusetts families. A product of public primary and secondary schools, John later attended Salem State for his undergraduate and Suffolk University for law school. John is committed to ensuring our children receive a first-rate education and that they are prepared to compete in emerging industries and the new global economy.
Congressman Tierney’s dedication to education was recognized in March when he was awarded the 2010 New England Board of Higher Education Excellence Award for exceptional leadership on higher education issues and outstanding commitment to the advancement of educational opportunity.
