One skill/lesson you’ve learned at Northeast that you’ll take with you: One skill I’ve learned at Northeast that I’ll take with me is the ability to stay responsible and manage my time well. Between classes, assignments, and activities, I learned how important it is to stay organized and keep track of what needs to be done. Northeast taught me that being responsible isn’t just about completing work but staying prepared, and holding myself accountable for my work in school. 

A person who has inspired you to be your best: Mr. Caven is the person who has inspired me the most. He isn’t just a teacher, he pushes you to believe in yourself, even when you’re unsure. He explains things in a way that makes learning fun rather than stressful, and he always takes time to help, no matter how busy he is. What makes him stand out is how much he truly cares about his students’ success in the shop and in life. His patience, encouragement, and support motivate me to work harder and become my best. 

Favorite quote: “Treat everyone with politeness and kindness, not because they are nice, but because you are." - Roy T. Bennett

Plans after graduation: Attend Franklin Cummings Tech to pursue a comprehensive education in Mechatronics.

As parking spaces have become available due to seniors being on Co-op, a limited number of spots will be open to Grade 11 students for Gold Weeks only. Beginning Sunday, December 14 at 12:00 p.m. (noon), interested juniors may complete the Student Parking Application Form to be added to a waitlist. Students in good standing, as approved by their dean, will be contacted in the order that the form was completed to purchase a parking sticker for $25 in the Business Office.

Once juniors receive a parking sticker, they may begin parking in the designated student parking areas during Gold Weeks only. As additional spaces become available, Grade 11 students will be contacted in the order the form was submitted. We aim to make as many spaces available to students as possible.

Parking spaces reserved for students are located in sections A and A2 on this image. All student vehicles parked on Northeast Metro Tech property must have a parking sticker properly displayed (affixed to the windshield above the inspection sticker on the passenger side). Detailed student parking information and expectations can be found by viewing this document.

Inspired by Melrose Kind, Northeast launched Postcards of Gratitude, an initiative that invites students to recognize a person in the field of education who has made a positive impact on their lives. All Northeast students participated during their English classes, writing personal postcards to educators and staff, past or present, from any school or district who supported them at any point in their educational journey. Students were excited to craft handwritten messages of appreciation during the holiday season.

Congratulations to five of our cosmetology seniors who recently passed their state board exam, officially becoming licensed cosmetologists. We are proud to share that 18 seniors are now licensed and to see their hard work pay off.

NE Things is extending its 20% off sale on all apparel through the end of the school year. Hoodies, T-shirts, zip-ups, sweatpants, rope and patch hats, and new arrivals each week are all included.

Students from Early Childhood and Culinary teamed up this week for a festive cookie decorating activity with the children in the Little Knights Learning Lab. Culinary students prepared the cookies and decorating materials, while Early Childhood students guided the preschoolers through the experience. It was a wonderful opportunity for both shops to collaborate and bring joy to our youngest students.

On Thursday, December 4, Health Assisting juniors appeared on Revere TV to share their knowledge of essential first-aid and health practices. Students demonstrated how to relieve a blocked airway for adults, children, and infants; explained immediate steps for treating minor burns; and outlined the warning signs of heart attacks and strokes. They also discussed the importance of understanding diverse dietary practices while making healthy choices. This collaboration reflects their dedication to community health education and their growing skills as future healthcare professionals.

Senior Health Assisting students have begun their clinical rotations at CHA Whidden Hospital in Everett. As Certified Nursing Assistants, they are shadowing professionals across multiple departments, including the Emergency Room, Operating Room, Outpatient Rehabilitation, Med-Surg, Laboratory, Radiology, Respiratory Care, and Geriatric Psychiatry. These rotations provide valuable hands-on experience that supports the senior-year acute care curriculum and offer meaningful exposure to real-world patient care.

On Thursday, December 11, the Chorus Club held a fun karaoke event with hot chocolate and snacks. Students enjoyed singing their favorite songs, cheering on their peers, and spending time together. Thank you to everyone who joined in and made the event a great time.

Senior students brought holiday cheer to the STEM Innovation Lab by using the Epilog Laser to create winter-themed designs. Students completed the full design-to-production process: developing their concepts, editing in Corel Draw, and laser etching or cutting their final pieces. Projects ranged from three-dimensional animals and landscape scenes to festive decorations, highlighting both their creativity and their growing mastery of digital design and advanced fabrication tools.
