One skill/lesson you’ve learned at Northeast that you’ll take with you: One skill I've learned at Northeast that will forever stick with me is critical thinking. This skill will get me far in life and lead to great opportunities.

A person who has inspired you to be your best: A person who has inspired me to be my best would be my shop teacher, Mr. Secor. He has always helped me be my best version and always lends a helping hand when needed.

On January 29, Dental Assisting sophomores and seniors attended the 51st Yankee Dental Congress in Boston, the largest dental meeting in New England. Hosted by the Massachusetts Dental Society in collaboration with five other New England dental associations, the multi-day event brings together dental professionals to earn continuing education credits and explore advancements in oral healthcare.

A highlight of the experience for students was the opportunity to explore the exhibit floor, where they interacted with a mock dental clinic, observed emerging AI applications for diagnosis and practice management, and engaged with hundreds of exhibitors showcasing the latest dental equipment, software, and supplies. Students also connected with representatives from dental colleges and local dental offices, gaining valuable insight into future educational and career pathways.

On Saturday, January 31, Northeast wrestlers competed at the Massachusetts Vocational Wrestling Championships at Greater Lowell Technical High School in Tyngsborough. Sophomore Emilia Buggy (114) captured the title, finishing 3-0 on the day and remaining unscored upon while pinning all of her opponents. Sophomore Cassidy Robertson (152) earned a second-place finish, advancing to the finals and narrowly losing a close match.

On Sunday, February 1, the Travel and Adventure Club enjoyed a “tourists in our own city” trip to Boston. Students explored the Boston Public Library, participated in a private tour of the Gibson House Museum, and learned about daily life in Boston during the late 1800s. The day concluded with visits to Eataly and the Prudential Center.

The club focuses on experiential learning that encourages independence, flexibility, and openness to new experiences. Students are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones while learning, connecting with others, and trying something new.

The Health Assisting program has implemented the zSpace Inspire 3D laptop through grant funding to enhance student learning and engagement. The rollout was supported by the Northeast Technology team, whose collaboration helped ensure a smooth and successful implementation. This interactive technology allows students to explore anatomy, physiology, and clinical concepts in a 3D learning environment, strengthening both understanding and skill development. The use of zSpace reflects the program’s continued commitment to providing instructional tools that prepare students for postsecondary education and healthcare careers.

The Esports Club meets every Wednesday and Thursday throughout the spring season, now through March 5 (pending playoffs), in Room A124. Students can participate in organized tournaments or drop in to play and connect with other gamers.

The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires districts to annually distribute school report cards to the families of all students enrolled in each of the district’s schools, regardless of the school’s Title I status or accountability determination. Report cards must include assessment and accountability results, teacher qualifications, and other information related to district and school performance. In addition to the report cards themselves, ESSA requires that districts notify all parents of students enrolled in Title I schools that they may request, and the district will provide, certain information related to the professional qualifications of their student's classroom teacher(s). Please click here to read more about the district’s report card.

The course selection process for the 2026-2027 school year for students in Grades 9-11 will begin with the teacher recommendation window in early February.

Families with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact their student’s teacher(s), counselor, or dean. Families needing assistance accessing Aspen may contact nex2@northeastmetrotech.com.
