Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School, 476 North Ave., in Rochester, will dedicate their newly refurbished science lab to former school superintendent, David J. Ferreira, on December 2 at 3:00 pm at the school.
The science lab will be named “The David J. Ferreira Science Center” in honor of Ferreira who served as Old Colony’s superintendent-director from 1992 until his retirement in 2007. Ferreira, a former physics teacher, currently serves as Executive Director of MAVA, the Massachusetts Association of Vocational Technical Administrators.
Old Colony, built in 1975, recently completed a $2.5 million capital improvement project through the Massachusetts School Building Authority that included a new roof and science lab. The MSBA grant funded about 54.6 percent of the project.
Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School in Rochester provides vocational training to high school students who live in Acushnet, Carver, Lakeville, Mattapoisett, and Rochester.
