The "pinning" isn't just a tradition—it’s a rite of passage. It symbolizes the transition from student to healthcare professional and honors the dedication, late-night studying, and clinical hours these individuals have poured into their journey.
To our newly pinned CNAs: your compassion is the heartbeat of healthcare. We are so incredibly proud of the hard work you've put in to earn your place on the front lines. Special thank you to the instructors who have taught, laughed and mentored our youth health care professions. Mrs. Stephanie Johnson RN, MSN, Mrs. Lynn Thibeault BSN, RN, and Mr. Matthew Perry BSN, RN.
Students.... Embrace the challenge: The road isn't always easy, but the reward of making a difference is unmatched.
Stay curious: Every patient has a story and every shift is a chance to learn.
You've got this: The world needs your hands and your heart!
Congratulations again to the Class of 2026! We can’t wait to see the incredible impact you'll make. ❤️🏥

Right after graduating from Tri‑County, Callum jumped straight into the field and is now a Carpenter at Woodstock Building Associates.
During his time in Carpentry, Callum built a strong foundation in hands‑on skills — from framing and measuring to reading plans and working safely with tools. One standout project? Designing and building a collapsible podium for the Massachusetts Attorney General, a challenge that sharpened his precision, planning, and craftsmanship.
Callum’s advice to current students:
“Pick up every tool you can and take the time to really learn it. High school is one of the best opportunities you’ll have to explore different subjects, hands-on skills, and career paths without pressure, so take advantage of that. Whether it’s academics, vocational classes, or extracurriculars, every experience can teach you something valuable and help you figure out what you enjoy and what you’re good at. The more skills you build now, the more prepared and confident you’ll be when you step into your career or further education.”
Callum says his education at Tri-County provided him with a strong foundation in hands-on trade skills, safety practices, and practical problem-solving that he continues to use every day in his work.
Today, his vocational training supports not only his career, but also the home he and his fiancé are improving together. A true example of how trade skills last a lifetime.
