FRAMINGHAM – The Framingham Public Schools Office of Human Resources team was selected as a 2021 Eugene H. Rooney, Jr., Public Service Award recipient as part of the Commonwealth’s Performance Recognition Program (PRP).

The annual Performance Recognition Program is an opportunity to formally recognize state employees for their extraordinary contributions to public service.

One of four prestigious awards, the Eugene H. Rooney, Jr., Public Service Award highlights human resources development as a planned, continuous effort to provide personal and professional growth opportunities that will enhance employee competency levels. The Rooney Award is presented to an employee or group of employees who selflessly personify a deep commitment to serving the people of the Commonwealth. 

Nominated by Dr. Robert A. Tremblay, Superintendent of Framingham Public Schools, “the District’s Office of Human Resources is highly innovative and hyper-focused on customer service, especially through the red-carpet onboarding process for new talent in the Framingham Public Schools. I watched the professional development and training elements of that process – and ongoing throughout the school year – and the evolution has been amazing. The FPS team is committed to helping our staff and the professionalism and poise of our skilled professionals is beyond impressive.”

The Committee’s recommendation was forwarded to Governor Charlie Baker who made the final selection decision.
