Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District Superintendent Bill Runey is proud to announce that Assistant Superintendent, Fred Souza (pictured) has been selected by Massachusetts Computer Using Educators (MassCUE) as the 2025 recipient of a MassCUE Administrator Award.
The MassCUE Administrator Award honors Massachusetts educators whose visionary commitment to digital innovation, instructional technology, and educator empowerment has made a lasting impact on student learning. The award celebrates administrators who go “above and beyond” in integrating technology to improve teaching, learning, and operational excellence.
“Fred Souza exemplifies what it means to lead with students in mind,” said Superintendent Runey. “His work has fundamentally transformed how we use technology to inspire students, empower teachers, and shape teaching and learning. From collaborating on innovative Professional Development to helping prioritize a data system that informs instruction, Fred’s leadership continues to elevate our entire organization. This recognition from MassCUE is well deserved and reflects his tireless dedication to our staff and students.”
Under Souza’s leadership, Dighton-Rehoboth has modernized its digital learning infrastructure and created a curriculum transparency system that empowers educators and families alike. He has also utilized the district’s DRiving Toward 2030 Strategic Plan to ensure that technology serves as a catalyst to ignite curiosity. Fred’s work has positioned DRRSD as a model for data-driven and future-ready learning.
When speaking of the award, Souza said, “DRiving Toward 2030 has been about more than a plan—it’s a promise to innovate, empower, and shape the future of learning. I’m humbled that MassCUE has recognized this work. Technology is only as powerful as the people who use it to make a difference, and our educators at Dighton-Rehoboth embody that every day.”
Souza will be honored at the annual MassCUE Fall Conference, held at Gillette Stadium, where the organization will celebrate his contributions alongside educators and leaders from across Massachusetts.
