All Star Alumni Alexis Chapman Mello! Lexi graduated from the Legal and Protective Services program in 2018!
She started her college journey off at Champlain college majoring in Digital Forensics. Then realized she didn’t like computer forensics but loved the hands on forensic science. She completed her sophomore and junior year at Bay Path University studying Forensic Science. After the COVID 19 pandemic, Lexi ended up transferring again and graduated from Bridgewater State University in 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. She is still currently debating what she will get her masters in. Some top contenders are Special Education, Social Work, or School Counseling.
She is currently a Behavioral Support Specialist / PBIS at Tyee Middle School in Bellevue, Washington.
Lexi’s favorite memories are going to SKILLS USA competitions. Her junior year she won 1st place at regionals for Criminal Justice and it was an amazing experience.
Lexi found her love for forensics and science in high school. This directly influenced her college choices. She will always have a love for forensics but her career path seems to be headed more in education or social work at this point.
When Lexi was a senior at Tri-County, she had the opportunity to do an internship with Bellingham Police. She learned so much about 911 dispatch and the everyday life of police officers. She also was able to learn how police and fire work together when responding to incidents.
Lexi says that her vocational education helped her to be more prepared for future jobs and for the reality of how competitive the workforce really is. She would not have had this incredible college and transition to adulthood journey without the things she learned at TC. She also wants to shout out her AP teachers: Thank you for AP so I didn’t have to take English in college!!
Lexi’s advice to current students: “This is your time to show colleges and future potential employers who you are. Leave the drama in middle school and focus on becoming your best self. Also, spread kindness. We live in a world full of hatred. Help each other out and be kind! Don’t forget to enjoy time with friends and family too!”
🌟🦷The Dental Assisting Students closed out February, Oral Hygiene Awareness month by visiting Shining Star Preschool in Milford. The visits were a two day event Thursday 2/27 and Friday 2/28. It was an opportunity for the Dental Assisting students to work in teams. Each team created their own individualized presentations. Every team had a schedule of classes to visit. They educated a total of 144 preschoolers about how to brush/floss and what is good nutrition. 🌟We are invited every year to participate with Shining Star. It has become an opportunity for our students to gain experience educating patients.
As always, our students came up with effective and creative ways to interact with the preschoolers and faculty. The Dental Assisting shop also presented their lessons to the EEC Sophomores. This was a helpful way to give all students a chance to collaborate. The Dental students came out of their meeting with EEC with helpful feedback to be successful when visiting Shining Star!🌟

Alumni All Star Trish Trowbridge – Cosmetology Class of 2008!
Trish is the Salon Owner & Stylist of Trish Trowbridge Hair Design! She loves keeping up with the latest trends by taking classes to further her hair knowledge!
Trish says her best high school memories are from cheerleading. She loved competing with her friends and fellow teammates!
When asked how her high school experience influenced your career path or further education choices, she said she knew from a young age that she wanted to pursue a career in cosmetology and was ecstatic to learn that she could attend Tri-County. Getting accepted was a dream come true for her. It gave her a head start by allowing her to begin accruing licensing hours in the cosmetology program at the age of 16. Trish was able to start working at a local salon as a receptionist by sophomore year and received her cosmetology license before graduating. After graduation, she immediately became a stylist and started her career behind the chair.
Trish says that she will forever be grateful for Tracie Osborne and Donna Flynn for making sure all their students were beyond prepared for the Massachusetts State Board of Cosmetology licensing test. It was a very long and challenging path to licensure, but they both equally prepared everyone for success!
The skills and knowledge Trish gained during her four years in the cosmetology program at Tri-County helped her pass the state boards at the age of 18, which significantly jump started her career. She has owned her own business for over a decade and is very grateful to Tri-County for setting her up for success!
Trish’s advice to current students: “I truly hope you follow your heart and choose the trade or job you feel passionate about. It makes such a difference to go to work and love your job!”

🎨✨Tri-County Carpentry students had a fantastic time teaming up with local artist Amy Adams for an incredible community project with Franklin Elementary School! 🐟✨
Mrs. Adams reached out to our students to create wooden fish for the elementary students to paint and display at the Franklin Community Sculpture Park. Using their CAD/CAM skills and the CNC router, our students designed and crafted a variety of fish shapes from pine boards. After some meticulous sanding, the school of fish was ready to swim over to Mrs. Adams. 🐠🎨
Mrs. Adams, a passionate artist dedicated to her community, has been collaborating with Franklin Elementary students for years. This project was a wonderful opportunity to bring people together and inspire creativity.
Our Tri-County Carpentry students are so proud to have been a part of this amazing initiative. Well done, Dylan Fairchild, Jackson Kullich, Austin LeBlanc, and Gideon Vazquez! 👏🐟 #TriCountyCarpentry #CommunityProject #FranklinElementary #WorkHardTodayCounts
