🌊 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

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes 🇺🇸 This Memorial Day, Whittier Tech SkillsUSA students proudly participated in Haverhill’s Memorial Day Parade and placed flags across our campus in honor of fallen service members. Special tribute was paid to PFC Evan O’Neill, a beloved Whittier Tech Class of 2002 graduate who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in Afghanistan. Evan, an Auto Tech student, was more than a soldier — he was a Patriot, a scholar, an athlete, and a friend. A member of the United Nations Debating Team and the National Technical Honor Society, Evan answered the call to serve after 9/11, following a proud family tradition of military service. He gave his life on September 29, 2003, at just 19 years old, earning the Purple Heart, Bronze Star for Valor, and Combat Infantryman Badge for his bravery. His memorial, located on our campus, is a place of remembrance and respect for all who pass by. Evan’s legacy endures in the hearts of his Whittier family. We salute you, Evan. We will never forget. 💙 #WeAreWhittierTech #CareerAndTechnicalEducation #WorkforceOfTomorrow
