Did you know?! Whittier is currently collaborating with Haverhill Community Action Inc. to provide a Welding ESOL evening education program through MassSTEP grant funding. Ten individuals are working hard five nights per week on a combination of skills, including contextualized English, employability, and welding. These adult students are showing up week after week and will wrap up in May, and will be looking for entry-level employment opportunities in the field of welding. Pictured here, you will see Instructor Chris Gerber giving a lesson on plasma cutting. The primary class instructors include Josh Merrill and Paul Webber. Keep up the great work, evening education welders! We know you will finish out the program strong.

The February issue of the Wildcat Magazine is here! 📰🐾
A slightly delayed release… thanks to a few snow days ❄️ and February break doing their thing. But good journalism takes time (and apparently a few snow shovels), and our Journalism Club students worked hard to put together another great issue!
Check out the latest stories, features, and student voices in the February edition of The Wildcat. Great job to our talented student writers and advisor for making it happen! ❤️💛

In Metal Fabrication, our first-year students are already making their mark.
Grade 9 morning students recently took on a real shop project after two new welding demo booths were installed. Additional exhaust was needed, so under the guidance of Mr. Palmer, students drafted plans for a custom hood, then cut, bent, and assembled copper and brass to bring it to life.
They followed with precise measurements for the ductwork, rounding, beading, and crimping galvanized metal before seamlessly connecting the finished system.
From the blueprint to installation, this demonstrates hands-on learning.
