A groundbreaking was held for the Mock House, a collaborative project involving Carpentry, Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, and Drafting and Design students. The project provides a real-world learning environment where students develop hands-on skills, practice safety protocols, work as a team, and gain experience in project management, all while preparing for careers in the skilled trades. Be on the lookout for progress on this exciting project on the upper field. |

CTE Shop: Automotive Collision and Repair
Favorite class: Physics
One skill/lesson you’ve learned at Northeast that you’ll take with you: I have learned to focus on one thing at a time, especially in my shop area. For instance I have been working on the same car for two years but I learn new things about the car all the time. I think it is important to take your time and stay focused on the lesson you are presently learning.
A person who has inspired you to be your best: I would say that my brother has inspired me. He told me that getting into a trade is good and that I should pursue my career goals and all my dreams. He was a big influence on me coming to Northeast.
Favorite quote: “Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.” by Kurt Cobain
Plans after graduation: I plan on working in the automotive collision and repair career area.

Northeast receives Title I funding from the U.S. Department of Education, which supports public schools in helping all students meet high academic standards. In compliance with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Northeast has developed a School Title 1 Family Compact outlining the shared responsibilities of school, families, and students in supporting success.
Our Northeast Family Compact outlines shared responsibilities:
-
Educators / Staff: Teach with state frameworks, set clear expectations, return work promptly, share progress, and ensure a safe, supportive environment.
-
Parents/Guardians: Ensure attendance, support assignments, encourage learning, and communicate with staff.
-
Students: Attend daily, complete work responsibly, respect others, and stay committed to learning.
Together, we support student achievement and a school culture where every student can thrive.
On Friday, September 12, families will be sent our Family Compact and questionnaire to review, and it will also be available on our website. At your earliest convenience, please complete the compact and questionnaire.
For questions, contact Joseph Papagni, Title I Coordinator, at 781-246-0810 x1607 or JPapagni@northeastmetrotech.com.

Students are expected to engage in learning opportunities in each class/shop throughout the school day.

All learning spaces, including classrooms and shop areas, are equipped with cell phone holders, where students must place their silenced devices upon arrival. Violations, including unauthorized photographing or video recording, may result in disciplinary action. Students are permitted to use their devices during lunch.
