Meet Eli Roy, a 2014 Plumbing graduate from Haverhill. Today, Eli is both a Plumbing Instructor at Whittier Tech and the owner of Breathe CrossFit.
“Whittier Tech gave me the foundation I needed to succeed, teaching me the skills to become a plumber while instilling lessons about discipline, responsibility, and hard work. Now, I’m back at Whittier, passing on those same values to the next generation.” – Eli Roy ’14
Eli’s journey shows how Whittier Tech alumni can come full circle—turning training into careers, and then returning to inspire future Wildcats.
