Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of our New England Association of Schools and Colleges ( NEASC) Collaborative Conference Visit on October 22 and 23.

One skill/lesson you’ve learned at Northeast that you’ll take with you: A few things I learned at Northeast are how to use Chief Architect to create a functional house and then use Indesign to make a poster that explains our home in depth. Another skill I learned was how to be able to present to an audience. We do a lot of presentations and sometimes I can get nervous, but doing it so much has made me more confident.
A person who has inspired you to be your best: A person who really inspires me is my grandmother. She always tells me to be the best at what I do. She is someone I can talk to about anything and is like my best friend. My grandma is definitely one of my biggest supporters.
Favorite quote: “Always get up and keep moving forward … it may be slow but it is still progress." - Diana Morrow
Plans after graduation: I want to be an architect and create comfortable, affordable homes for low income families.

Electrical students are putting their skills to work at the Masonic Hall in Wakefield, where they are helping modernize the building’s lighting and control systems. Their work includes installing new LED floodlights, wiring for ceiling fans, and updated switching controls, much of which connects to new structures built by the Carpentry program. This hands-on project allows students to apply classroom knowledge while supporting an important community space. |

Since 1985, the National Red Ribbon Campaign has encouraged students to live drug-free. At Northeast, we support this cause by observing Red Ribbon Week from Thursday, October 23, to Friday, October 31. This year’s theme is “Life Is a Puzzle, Solve It Drug Free.”
Our Students Against Destructive Decisions ( SADD) chapter has organized activities highlighting healthy choices and responsible decision making, including:
- Take the Drug-Free Pledge by signing the pledge banner.
- Wear a red ribbon clip and a temporary tattoo to show support.
- Red Ribbon Week Spirit Day - students and staff are encouraged to wear red on Tuesday, October 28 to spread awareness and demonstrate unity.
We encourage all students to take part in this important conversation and to remember that healthy choices today create a brighter future tomorrow. For questions or additional information, please contact SADD Advisor Sarah Pierce at spierce@northeastmetrotech.com.

Students are expected to engage in learning opportunities in each class/shop throughout the school day. Cell phones and smartwatches distract students from participating in lessons, completing assignments, contributing to class discussions, and collaborating with teachers and classmates. Unsanctioned cell phone/smartwatch use during instructional time is prohibited. 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.
Emergency calls by students should be made in an administrative office, and families should contact Office A at (781) 246-0810 ext. 1644 for individual student needs. Headphones/earbuds may be used for educational purposes only; otherwise, students should remove them. Bluetooth speakers are not allowed in the building.
