SUTTON Sitting in his car and using Zoom to virtually attend the June 7 Sutton School Committee meeting, State Sen. Ryan Fattman held up a blue folder and told the group he had an important message to deliver.
In the blue folder was a citation from the Massachusetts Senate congratulating Sutton High School Principal Ted McCarthy on being named the 2021-22 High School Principal of the Year by the Massachusetts School Administrators’ Association.
“Sometimes we take for granted our teachers, principals and those involved in helping students,’’ Fattman said. “So, it’s exciting to see Mr. McCarthy receive the Principal of the Year award.’’

“We are one, our cause is one, and we must help each other; if we are to succeed.”
That is a famous quote from Frederick Douglas, a prominent activist, author and public speaker in America in the 19th century. It’s a benchmark statement that at an early age resonated with Dr. Robert Spooney, an exemplary pastor, preacher, teacher and social activist who epitomizes focused leadership.
Douglas’ message motivates Spooney, an Orlando native, to help others in the community realize their full potential. It’s a joyous feeling he gets when he sees people overcome obstacles.
