The team has advanced to the "elite eight" of the Massachusetts Bar Association's high school mock trial tournament, and will take part in the next round at the Worcester County Courthouse on Friday. 

FHS teacher Michael Walsh, one of the team's coaches, said this represents one of the school's furthest forays into the competition, though it has reached the final four once before. 

"We're pretty excited about it," he said. "I believe strongly that it is an excellent educational program."

Rep Roy: What's happening in the district - March 2017 newsletter

View this email in your browser Committee assignments announced I was honored to have been appointed by Speaker DeLeo as the Vice-Chair on the Committee on Healthcare Financing for this session. The Committee is responsible for all matters concerning health care programs and regulation of the health care system, including oversight of health facilities, medical professionals, health plans, certificates of need, health programs including Medicaid, and other matters related to the health care industry. I am looking forward to the challenges that are ahead, particularly in light of discussions going on with the ACA at the federal level. I was also honored to be appointed by the Speaker to be the House Chair of the Manufacturing Caucus. Massachusetts is poised to be the number one state in the nation in manufacturing, and I will work hard with the Speaker and my colleagues to make that happen. I also thank the Speaker for appointments to the Joint Committees on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery, Export Development, and Municipalities and Regional Government. These assignments will no doubt make it a very busy session and will position me well to serve the 10th Norfolk District and citizens of the Commonwealth well. As always, I value your input and feedback and am honored to serve. Copyright © 2017 State Rep Jeff Roy, All rights reserved.
