🌊 Over 6,200 Pounds of River Pollution Removed In Just Two Weeks! Whittier Tech’s SkillsUSA students and the Clean River Project removed more than 6,200 pounds of trash and debris from just two containment booms placed in the Merrimack River. These booms, funded by our SkillsUSA team and installed in partnership with the Clean River Project, are designed to catch harmful pollutants before they travel downstream. In just two weeks, the boom collected hypodermic needles, plastic bottles, human waste, CSO-related debris, and more. This project is a powerful reminder of what’s entering our waterways and the impact students can make when they lead with purpose. 📸 Thank you to Rocky Morrison for sharing these images and for his ongoing leadership in environmental stewardship. #WeAreWhittierTech #CareerAndTechnicalEducation #WorkforceOfTomorrow

🙌 Today, on June 19, we celebrate Juneteenth — a day that brings hope and commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and the freedom of African Americans. #WeAreWhittierTech #CareerAndTechnicalEducation #WorkforceOfTomorrow

🎬 A Shared Step Forward! The 11 cities and towns that make up the Whittier Tech district have come together to begin a regional conversation about the future of the school building, and the future of technical education in the region. This united message reflects a commitment to exploring all options, including a partnership with Northern Essex Community College, to support students, communities, and the workforce they serve. This is about more than buildings. It’s about our students, our workforce, and our shared future. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iDuP_kv7RXA #WeAreWhittierTech #CareerAndTechnicalEducation #WorkforceOfTomorrow
