One skill/lesson you’ve learned at Northeast that you’ll take with you: Be patient. Skills come with time and practice and so will the good things that come to you. Work hard, not everything will be handed to you. And lastly, be kind because kindness brings you the farthest in life.
A person who has inspired you to be your best: Mrs. Santos, my shop teacher, because she has shown me that even on your bad days, it is still important to show up for those around you. She has also sprung on to me the idea of having a growth mindset, and never giving up even when I’m feeling discouraged.
Favorite quote: “Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” - Marthe Troly-Curtin
Plans after graduation: I plan on attending a 2-year college for an Associate’s Degree while I work to build clientele. I will then pursue a real estate course to sell houses and do that on the side while I am in the field.

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Office of Public School Monitoring (PSM) will conduct an Integrated Monitoring Review of Northeast Metro Tech during the week of December 14, 2026. Each school district, charter school, vocational school, and virtual school undergoes an Integrated Monitoring Review every three years. The areas addressed during an Integrated Monitoring Review are organized into two groups, known as Group A Universal Standards and Group B Universal Standards.
Northeast Metro Tech will be undergoing a Group A monitoring review, which focuses on special education student identification and special education eligibility timelines; Individualized Education Program (IEP) development; programming and support services; procedural requirements for suspensions and equal opportunity.
The process includes interviews with district staff and administrators, a review of student records, policies and procedures, and school building visits. The process may also include parent/caregiver, student and teacher focus group meetings to gather additional information. Interpretation will be provided, if needed.
The Department will also send a parent survey, in multiple languages and formats as needed, to parents/guardians of special education students to gather key information on the special education processes and procedures.
Parents/guardians and other stakeholders may reach Moses Nduati to request a telephone interview at moses.m.nduati@mass.gov. If anyone requires an accommodation, such as translation, to participate in an interview, the Department will make the necessary arrangements.

Students are expected to engage in learning opportunities in each class/shop throughout the school day. Cell phones, smart watches, and smart glasses distract students from participating in lessons, completing assignments, contributing to class discussions, and collaborating with teachers and classmates. Unsanctioned use of personal electronic devices 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 the Main Office at (781) 246-0810 for individual student needs.

Grade 12 students who complete the Student Parking Application Form (using their Northeast email account) will be added to a registration list.

Students will be required to enter their driver’s license number, vehicle information (make, model, color, and year), and license plate number, and upload a copy of their valid Massachusetts driver’s license and vehicle registration.
Parking spaces reserved for students are located in the Student Parking Lot (see image). This is the same lot used last year.

The Student Parking Lot will be on your left, just past Landrigan Field.
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.
