Whittier Regional Vocational Technical District

Due to the messy winter roads this morning. We will have a 2 Hour Delayed Opening today, December 3. Homeroom will begin at 9:43 and end at 10:00. Students and staff will begin the school day with period 4 and will follow the regular school schedule. Please stay safe!

Whittier Tech proudly recognizes Ava Bohlen, who has earned her cosmetology license. This accomplishment reflects hard work, skill, and a bright future ahead. ✨

#WeAreWhittierTech

Due to the incoming inclement weather, the District has decided on an early release at 10:44 a.m. for all students. Please note that all after-school activities are cancelled.

For Giving Tuesday, Whittier’s Annual Season of Giving is officially underway. 🎁

The Whittier Tech Education Foundation is collecting donations to support students and families who may need extra help during the holiday season. Even a small contribution can make a meaningful difference for our community.

✨ Alumni Connection: Alicia Catalano ’18, Culinary Arts ✨

From the kitchens of Whittier Tech to creating her own expressive space for young musicians, Alicia Catalano has transformed her entrepreneurial passion into Music with Alicia, a program where students of all ages can learn, grow, and discover their voice through music.

Reflecting on her path, Alicia shares how Whittier helped shape her journey:
“Creating a space where kids can learn music and express themselves has been a lifelong dream. Whittier fueled my entrepreneurial spirit and helped make it possible.”

Whittier Tech has received many questions about the new state mandated admissions lottery. To ensure families have clear and accurate information, we are sharing this brief FAQ about the updated process. These changes are required by new Massachusetts regulations and are not changes initiated by Whittier Tech.

Students must still meet Whittier’s academic, technical, attendance, and conduct expectations once enrolled, and our commitment to supporting families through the admissions process remains the same.

For additional questions, please contact admissions@whittiertech.org or visit the Admissions page at whittiertech.org.

🔧 Alumni Connection: Maria Zammitti ’20 – Plumbing & Heating

Breaking barriers and building her future, Maria Zammitti found her path in Whittier Tech’s Plumbing & Heating program—a trade she hadn’t originally envisioned for herself. Today, as a Journeyman Plumber with Local 12 (JC Higgins), Maria continues to prove that confidence, skill, and perseverance open doors to incredible opportunities.

“Whittier has helped me get to where I am today by giving me the chance to get out of my comfort zone and try a trade I wouldn’t normally picture myself in.”

Her story reflects the strength of Whittier’s hands-on learning and the courage it takes to step into something new.

A Wildcat win! 🏆 Whittier took Best Overall Float at Haverhill’s 61st Annual Santa Parade. Thanks to everyone who brought The Island of Misfit Toys to life — especially Art instructor Paul Murray and our Art program, who work hand-in-hand with Carpentry each year to make the float happen. HVAC, Electrical, Metal Fab, and Masonry also pitched in to help bring this year’s float to life. ❤️💛 #WeAreWhittierTech
