WORCESTER, MA — An assistant principal in Worcester was recently honored at a Worcester Red Sox Game.
Danielle Barry, the assistant principal at Heard Street Discovery Academy, was named Country Bank's Most Valuable Teacher at a WooSox game this week. Barry, who has worked at the school for 33 years, was this year's first winner.
Barry was nominated by a former student, who said, "When I think of Heard Street School, I think of Mrs. Barry."
Educators can be nominated on Country Bank's website.
Barry is also the mother of Peter Barry, the WooSox's Director of Partnerships Management, who is a proud alumnus of Worcester's former Saint Peter-Marian High School.
Winners, like Barry, get a $100 gift card from Country Bank, tickets to a WooSox game, a special banner to hang in their classroom, and a surprise visit to their school from Smiley Ball and Buck, the WooSox's official mascot.
