NORTHBRIDGE — Worcester County Sheriff Lew Evangelidis shared his experi- ences and insights into the criminal justice system with Northbridge High School Law students and faculty in the NHS Media Center. The sheriff was introduced by NHS junior Erik Drew, who worked on Evangelidis’s suc- cessful campaign in November of 2010. Erik put his law teacher in contact with the sher- iff, and the whole class benefited from his informative and entertaining visit. Evangelidis opened with a joke about his height (At 6’7”, he figures everyone wonders just how tall he is). Then, he discussed his background in finance, construction, law, and politics.
