Congressman Tierney Supports Local Efforts to Strengthen Education Opportunities
Peabody, MA – As parents across the area prepare to send their children back to school, Congressman Tierney visited with local families, students, and education programs to discuss the importance of providing the necessary resources to students of all ages. During the last week, Congressman Tierney spoke with students in Salem and Saugus participating in the F1rst Jobs program at our national parks, broke ground for the Head Start facility in Lynn that will provide services to mothers and to children between infancy and age 3, and joined other lawmakers for the ribbon cutting ceremony at Salem State that marked opening of Salem State’s new dorm, Marsh Hall.
“As I speak to parents, students, and educators across our community, I am continuously impressed by their efforts to provide all of our children with the resources they need to succeed in this world,” Congressman Tierney said. “I am dedicated to working with them, and on their behalf, to ensure that all students in our community have the opportunity to achieve their educational goals, thrive in school, and find good jobs after graduation. Massachusetts’ education system stands out as one of the best in our country, but there is still more work to be done.”
Congressman Tierney consistently advocates in Washington to improve educational opportunities for Massachusetts families. As a product of public primary and secondary schools, and a graduate of Salem State, he 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.
