As part of their unit on the First Amendment Protections and Limitations on the Freedom of Speech, LPS sophomores attended a trip to the LMC to learn about books that have been banned or challenged at some point in time in some school districts. 🚫They learned a lot about the concept of censorship, freedom of speech, and the value of the marketplace of ideas. Mr. Dagan proudly maintains a large collection of books that span many ideologies and allows students to pursue any of their interests through books and media.📚

Alumni All Star Stephen April! Stephen is a 2019 graduate of the Computer Information Systems program.
After high school he went on to pursue Cyber Threat & Defense at Johnson & Wales University. He later transferred to CCRI still pursuing Cyber Security but stopped attending when he obtained a full time IT position at an electrical company.
Stephen currently works at Sasaki in Boston and is a Desktop Support Specialist.
One of his favorite memories from high school was the first time he discovered CyberPatriot, during the CIS exploratory class. He remembers a day when a bunch of students gathered on Mr. C’s side of the shop with binders filled with notes from past years. Curiously, he asked what they were preparing for, and they told him all about this cybersecurity competition they participated in every year. That conversation sparked his interest in both the class and the world of cybersecurity, and he knew that he wanted to be a part of it and compete on the team.
His high school experience influenced his career path significantly. Without the hands-on experiences he had during his time in the shop, Stephen says he feels like he would not have known what career path he wanted to take come senior year. Many things he does daily in his job today were taught to him in high school.
One activity that had a significant impact on him in high school was playing on the lacrosse team. It was a way for him to have fun, create lifelong memories with teammates, and he loved that he had the opportunity to play on the same team as his brother!
Stephen says that the skills he learned from his time at Tri-County and from his shop teachers, Mrs. Z and Mr. C, stay with him every day. Every day at work, he relies on something he learned in the shop to help solve a computer issue. Now, being part of the Cybersecurity team, he is able to apply both his shop experience and the skills he gained from CyberPatriot to take things to the next level. Without that solid foundation in this field, he believes he wouldn't be where he is today!
Stephen’s advice to current high school students: “Be yourself and do things that bring you joy.”

Alumni All-Star Emily Pion! Emily is a 2019 graduate of the Dental Assisting Program!
After high school she enrolled in the Community College of Rhode Island’s Dental Hygiene program and graduated in 2023 with her Associates in Applied Science degree in Dental Hygiene. She is currently pursuing her master’s degree in dental hygiene with a concentration in public health at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
She currently works as a full time Registered Dental Hygienist at Milford Dental Group.
Emily’s favorite memory from high school was playing on the girls’ varsity soccer team. She loved being part of this team and playing the sport she loved throughout her four years at Tri-County. Her experiences in the dental assisting shop largely influenced her career choice and decision to pursue her master’s degree. She loved learning about all aspects of the dental field and knew she wanted to further her career in this field. Her shop teachers, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Moran, were some of the greatest influences in her decisions to further her career.
One of the most impactful experiences Emily had in high school was the opportunity to participate in the Co-op program, where she could gain real-world work experience before graduating. This experience led to her job as a dental assistant, which she continues while pursuing her degree in dental hygiene. Her time as a dental assistant was invaluable, equipping her with essential skills that not only helped her succeed in college but continue to benefit her in her current role as a dental hygienist.
The skills and knowledge she gained through her vocational education continue to play a vital role in her success every day. When she entered the dental hygiene program in college, Emily says her experience as a dental assistant gave her a strong foundation, allowing her to build on what she already knew. Even now, in her current role as a dental hygienist, she regularly applies skills she learned in high school, which not only contribute to her success but also make her a valuable asset to her team and office.
Emily’s advice to students: “I would tell every student at Tri-County to enjoy these four years as much as they can and take advantage of every opportunity! Without the opportunities I had at Tri-County I’m not sure if I would have pursued the career that I am so passionate about now!”
🎉🏆 Huge congratulations to the Tri-County Wrestling team for capturing the Small Vocational Championship this past weekend! We're incredibly proud of each and every one of you! 💪 #Tri-CountyWrestling #Champions #SmallVocationalChampionship #WorkHardTodayCounts
