FENWAY BOWL HONOR ROLL
We applaud and thank educators and institutions for their exceptional contributions during challenging times. The Fenway Bowl Honor Roll, launched in 2020, recognizes educators, administrators, and support staff across New England. This year, we celebrate Honor Roll Finalists, including three top Monster Finalists, nominated by their peers for outstanding work in schools and communities.
