MHS Video Teacher Honored by City, State Legislature, Congress

Medford High School video production teacher and digital media specialist Jack Dempsey was honored in a special ceremony at City Hall on Monday morning.

Dempsey was recognized for his work on an oral history video project involving nearly 100 Medford WWII veterans, including retired Major Tom Convery, who organized Monday’s ceremony. Dempsey received citations from the State Senate, State House of Representatives, City of Medford, Middlesex County Sheriff Jim DiPaola, and Congressman Edward Markey.
