Whittier Tech carpentry students turned classroom skills into community impact by rebuilding the front steps for the Georgetown Municipal Light Department. Mary Snow, General Manager of Georgetown Municipal Light, joined students and instructor Mike Sandlin to see the craftsmanship take shape and celebrate a project planned and completed by Whittier Tech 11th-grade carpenters. This outreach experience gave students hands-on practice in construction, teamwork, and problem-solving while providing Georgetown with a safe, welcoming entrance used every day. We are Whittier Tech, where leadership meets service, and where the motto "Working on Your Future" becomes real. 👉 Read the full story: https://tinyurl.com/r674eh5v #WeAreWhittierTech #CareerAndTechnicalEducation

✨ Featured Wildcats in a Boston Globe Photo of the Year ✨ The Whittier Tech Wildcats were highlighted in an article by The Boston Globe, “The 31 Best Photos of 2025,” showcasing a powerful moment captured by Globe photographer Ben Pennnington. The recognition celebrates the unity and resilience of our students and reminds us how one image can reflect the heart of career and technical education. #WeAreWhittierTech

✨ Alumni Connection: Rob Simard, Carpentry, Class of 2010 From job sites across the Merrimack Valley to his hometown of Haverhill, Massachusetts, Rob Simard successfully transitioned into the role of Gas & Oil Associate with Simard Gas & Oil after completing the Carpentry program at Whittier Tech. His path brought technical knowledge into a thriving family business and helped him establish financial independence early in adulthood. Rob reflects on how Whittier shaped his future: “My education from Whittier allowed me to successfully transition into working for my family’s successful gas and oil business. As a result of my dedication, I was able to purchase my first home at a young age.” The experience illustrates how career and technical education can open doors close to home and support meaningful life milestones such as home ownership and community roots. #WeAreWhittierTech

Our CAD Drafting students were busy this past December bringing creativity and compassion beyond the classroom. Senior Melanie Gomez used the Epilog laser to design the tree topper for the Whittier Tech tree featured at the Seabrook Festival of Trees. Seniors Emanuelle Portes and Jayda Jatoba introduced the Forever Home Keepsake Initiative, creating laser cut wooden ornaments to celebrate pet adoptions and honor dedicated shelter volunteers while applying real world skills in vector design, modeling, and fabrication. Students also attended Precast Day with Shea Concrete, experiencing firsthand the equipment and engineering excellence behind precast manufacturing, another example of how Whittier Tech students put learning into action to strengthen community connections.

What better way to wrap up learning before break than by stepping into future careers?

Mrs. Nichols, Whittier Tech’s technology specialist, brought virtual reality into Ms. Desberg’s English 11 classroom, giving students a firsthand look at a day in the life of professionals including certified nursing assistants, electricians, livestock handlers, transport helicopter pilots, truck drivers, and more.

This immersive experience supported the class’s current career unit, helping students make meaningful connections between their interests, skills, and real-world career pathways.
