CAMBRIDGE – And so it begins – the 2023-24 school year took its first steps on Monday, as new teachers, school counselors and social workers reported for duty in Dorchester County Public Schools (DCPS).

“Some are from out of state, some are our own graduates returning, some are experienced, some are newbies, but all are united in their commitment to our young people,” a statement from DCPS said. “They have a full two weeks of orientation in front of them, so stay tuned – you’ll be seeing more of them. Thank you all for choosing to join us in Dorchester County, our own beautiful corner of the world!”
