Our students teamed up with community members to clear public trails and support farm work at Medway Community Farm and the Open Space/Trail Committee. 🌿🚜 These spaces are incredible resources for the community, offering education and outdoor experiences year‑round.

Our junior Health Careers students along with their Instructor, Mrs. Thibeault, RN, had their 2nd EMS clinic in collaboration with Lt. Firefighter Josh at Norton Fire.
Students examined special medical equipment inside the ambulance and fire trucks.
Students tried various tasks using the Jaws Of Life (spreaders) to move blocks of wood, placing a CPR LUCAS device on the weighted mannequin, transferring the mannequin while continous CPR was in progress placing them on a scoop stretcher/board and into an ambulance.
A student was so excited through our collaboration with Norton fire and the EMS skills clinics they have been collaborating with us on, she already began her EMT training course for the summer! .
Thank you Norton Fire, Lt. Firefighter Josh and Captain Simmons in welcoming to your Fire Station home and inspiring young medical professionals to explore careers in emergency medicine and community careers.

Tri-County Carpentry students wrapped up the year with the last of a series of field trips to the Toll Brothers construction sites. This has become a yearly tradition and one that our students love. This partnership allows our students the opportunity to visit a professional high level building project from start to finish. The first trip of the year was in early October when the students learned about surveying, site work, foundations and all of the first steps into residential building. During the next field trips that followed our students had the chance to learn about everything from framing, roofing, siding, insulation and much more. The last couple trips concluded with seeing the interior finishes, and how it all comes together as a beautiful finished product for the new homeowner. The Carpentry department greatly appreciates the Toll Brothers organization for sharing all of their expertise and time to help train the next generation tradespeople. Their professionalism, efficiency and quality is a great example for our students! A huge thank you to Ryan O'Rourke, Tom Hartman, Mark McKibben and all those from the Toll Brothers Organization. Thank you Toll Brothers!

Our Medical Assisting students recently had the exciting opportunity to visit a local airport ✈️ and learn about MedFlight services 🚁 and emergency medical careers. Students enjoyed a behind‑the‑scenes tour 🔍, explored both a MedFlight helicopter and ambulance 🚑, and gained firsthand insight into emergency response operations.
The highlight of the visit was a Q&A session 💬 with a flight nurse and paramedic, who shared their experiences, training, and the critical role they play in patient care during emergencies ❤️‍🩹.
This hands‑on, educational experience provided students with a unique opportunity to explore healthcare careers 🩺 beyond the traditional medical office setting and gain a deeper understanding of the teamwork, skill, and dedication required in emergency medicine 💪.

✨ Alumni All‑Star Spotlight: Mikayla Guenard, Class of 2012 ✨
Meet Mikayla — a proud graduate of our Computer Information Systems program whose vocational education continues to shape her life in meaningful ways.
Before being diagnosed with heart failure, Mikayla worked in the front office of a body shop/collision center, where her strong tech background helped her excel in every role she took on. Today, she channels that same dedication into advocating for patients with heart failure, using her creativity to make a difference — she even crocheted a replica of her LVAD device to help explain how it works and to show children what it is in a way that’s easier to understand.
💬 Her favorite high school memory?
Representing our school at SkillsUSA — a chance to express herself and showcase everything she learned in shop.
💬 Her advice for current students:
“Engage in hands‑on learning, build strong connections with instructors and peers, manage your time well, and always aim higher than the minimum. Treat school like a workplace and seek certifications that give you an edge.”
Mikayla’s story reminds us that the skills we learn in vocational education go far beyond the classroom — they empower us to innovate, advocate, and inspire others.
🌟 Thank you, Mikayla, for sharing your story and representing what it means to be an All‑Star

Senior Sunset 🌅✨
Last night wasn’t just about watching the sun go down — it was about watching a whole chapter of your lives glow one last time. Standing there with the people who’ve been part of every laugh, every late-night cram session, every win, every loss… it felt like the perfect way to say goodbye.
To the Class of 2026: you made it. You created memories that will outlast every sunset. This is your farewell, but it’s not an ending — it’s the moment before everything begins.
Here’s to the friendships that shaped you and the futures waiting just beyond the horizon.

Collaboration in action!
Our Grade 11 Early Education students recently partnered with students from Health Careers and Cosmetology to create meaningful, developmentally appropriate field trip experiences right here within our vocational school for the children in our preschool program.
Through hands-on planning and teamwork, students combined their career knowledge to design engaging experiences that introduced preschoolers to caring professions, wellness, creativity, communication, and community connections in ways that matched their developmental needs.
These experiences remind us of something important: Early education is where ALL careers begin.
Every future nurse, teacher, hairstylist, electrician, chef, engineer, and business owner first learned through play, exploration, relationships, and discovery in early childhood. Preschool classrooms build the foundation for communication, confidence, problem-solving, social skills, and curiosity that students carry into every future career pathway.💙💛
We are proud to see our students collaborating across programs while recognizing the vital role early childhood education plays in shaping future success.
