Statewide association of school business officials recognizes district’s Executive Director of Business and Support Services
The Massachusetts Association of School Business Officials (MASBO) has presented its 2026 Rising Star Award to Aisha Oppong, Executive Director of Business and Support Services for the Hingham Public Schools. She was honored at the association’s 60th Annual Institute in Falmouth.
MASBO established the Rising Star Award to recognize the value and contributions of outstanding professionals within the first 10 years of their careers as school business administrators. The award includes registration and travel expenses for the recipient to attend the Association of School Business Officials International’s Annual Conference & Expo.
Kathryn Roberts, Superintendent of the Hingham Public Schools, nominated Oppong for the award. Roberts commended her leadership in finance and operations since she assumed the position in 2022, particularly her success in securing grant funding for capital projects throughout the district.
These projects include oversight of the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) project to build the new Foster Elementary School, as well as four accelerated repair projects.
“I am grateful and humbled to receive this award and to work in a role where I can serve my community,” Oppong said.
