Thanksgiving is a time to gather with family and friends, enjoy great food, and take a well-deserved moment to unwind. It is also an opportunity to reflect on all we are grateful for and to show kindness to those in need. As we prepare for a relaxing, enjoyable Thanksgiving break, we extend a sincere thank you to the students, families, faculty, and staff who make Northeast Metro Tech a special place. |

One skill/lesson you’ve learned at Northeast that you’ll take with you: The HVAC/R teachers taught me to be ready for the workforce. They highlighted communication with people as it is very important in the industry, with a boss, co-workers, and customers. Also, it is very important, when working hands-on, that we think outside the box and problem-solve to adapt to the environment and challenges.
A person who has inspired you to be your best: Mr. Moulison always treats everyone with respect. One day, I was very frustrated while trying to assemble a sheet metal project, and Mr. Moulison checked in because he noticed I was having trouble. He asked me to stop what I was doing, take a breath, and take a look at it with a fresh set of eyes. He told me he knew I could do this project. He taught me to be patient and to have confidence in my ability. I use this advice in and out of shop all the time.
Favorite quote: "Talent without working hard is nothing." – Cristiano Ronaldo
Plans after graduation: I want to work in the HVACR field. I am interested in new construction installations, including running ductwork, installing air handlers, and installing condenser units. I want to be responsible for and proud of the job done well the first time. I would like to be accepted into the HVAC/R Pipefitters Union.

On Wednesday, November 19, Northeast held its National Honor Society (NHS) and National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) Induction Ceremony at Galvin Middle School in Wakefield. The event celebrated students who exemplify excellence in scholarship, leadership, career technical achievement, character, and service. Families, faculty, and staff gathered to recognize the newest inductees and honor their commitment to the values upheld by both societies.
During each ceremony, student officers from NHS and NTHS also recognized educators for their dedicated service to Northeast and the lasting impact they have had on students: Stephen Boyd (Metal Fabrication), Rick Stewart (STEM), Amy West (English), and Paul Kirwin (History), pictured below from left to right.
Thank you to Honor Societies Advisor Vicki Bagtaz and all who helped make the evening a memorable celebration of our outstanding students.
