Career and Technical Education
A message from the director:
Weymouth High Schools Career and Technical department is one of the best in the state of Massachusetts. The instructors in all areas are well respected masters in their trade and technical areas. Weymouth High School, a comprehensive educational setting is the most flexible educational model available to secondary students in our society. The beginning introduction that all ninth grade students experience is the exploratory program. This fast paced, constantly evolving program, presents introductory information to all students from all Career and Technical areas in the first half of the year. After this experience, the student will choose three areas of concentration. Based upon an instructor generated evaluation, the student will enter one of their choices for the remainder of the year.
This introduction is followed by three years of progressively intensive study in their chosen field. During this time the student is encouraged and directed to concentrate on the achievement of a nationally recognized standard such as the American Culinary Certification. All career and technical education students are on a direct pathway to post secondary education in the form of an associate degree or higher. This is accomplished through articulation agreements with Colleges and Technical Institutes in the United States.
Career and Technical education students are students that are athletes, scholars, musicians and artists. They are the leaders of the school and hard working young men and women, who are risk takers and the business owners of tomorrow.
