Northeast Metro Tech is an accredited member of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), which partners with schools to assess, support, and promote high-quality education for all students. As part of the NEASC Accreditation cycle, we will host our Collaborative Conference Visit on Wednesday, October 22, and Thursday, October 23, 2025.

The Collaborative Conference Visit is an important step in the Accreditation process. Its purpose is to gather information about the school’s current conditions, collaboratively review and refine the school’s Self-Reflection findings, and identify priority areas for growth and improvement. The visiting team will also check the school’s alignment with NEASC’s Foundational Elements and support the development of meaningful goals for continued growth. During the Collaborative Conference, the visiting team will tour the building, visit classrooms, and meet with various stakeholders. Following the visit, the NEASC team will draft a Collaborative Conference Report to present its findings.

Northeast began the Self-Reflection process in Fall 2024, which included gathering input from stakeholders through surveys and discussions. The feedback collected during that phase continues to guide our improvement efforts and preparation for this visit.

Following the Collaborative Conference Visit, we will continue working toward our Decennial Accreditation Visit, scheduled for Sunday, October 31, through Wednesday, November 3, 2027.

Your support of the NEASC Accreditation process is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

One skill/lesson you’ve learned at Northeast that you’ll take with you: Things take time so live in the moment and enjoy it but don’t be afraid to fight to get what you want.

A person who has inspired you to be your best: Mr. Young has inspired me to be my best self. He runs our school’s Chorus club, which I have been a member of since my freshman year. He has reassured me through having faith in my singing abilities. He always says, “Learn to do what you love.” He explains to students that although our voices may not be perfect, we will continue to learn and grow.

Favorite quote: “She believed she could, so she did” - R.S. Grey

Plans after graduation: I plan to attend Salem State University. There I will earn my Bachelor of Arts in Musical Theater. There, I will join Salem State’s Theater Club which is fully run by the student body. Their spring musical is Sweeney Todd. I look forward to taking part in next year’s play. 

Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Wednesday, October 15, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. We will once again use pickAtime, an online scheduling platform, to make booking meetings convenient and efficient. Families can create accounts, book appointments, and request translators if needed.

📅 The scheduling window is open now and will close at 12:00 p.m. (noon) on Wednesday, October 15. If your plans change, please cancel appointments as soon as possible so other families can book those time slots.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, October 15.

Business Technology juniors spent the week volunteering at the Topsfield Fair through the Farm Hands program in the Education Center. For the past three years, the program has provided students with a hands-on opportunity to support an exhibit that welcomes many elementary and middle school field trips. Students led an interactive simulation showing children how farmers earn income by selling their crops and how that process connects to our economy. This experience allows our students to apply their knowledge of business and economics while engaging with the community.

At the Monday, October 6 faculty meeting, Health Assisting students gave a impactful presentation in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, observed each October. Their presentation emphasized the importance of education, awareness, and advocacy in supporting individuals and families affected by domestic violence. Students shared information about available resources and discussed how awareness can help foster safety and compassion.

Northeast Health Assisting students began their clinical rotation this week at the Brudnick Center for Living in Peabody, MA. This experience marks an important step toward completing the required CNA hours needed for certification eligibility. Through hands-on training, students are gaining valuable experience in providing quality care and supporting residents in a professional healthcare setting.
