Career Technical Education Freshmen in the Information Technology and Computer Science & Web Development programs were fortunate to have Tim Howard, President and CEO of RMON Networks share his experiences with them.  He shared his career path and how he started and built his own business.  He also spoke about the importance of focusing on writing and communication skills, which are just as important as students’ technical skills.  Thanks Mr. Howard for spending part of your day with us!  For more information about CTE Work-Based Learning opportunities, contact Lisa Hunt at lhunt@haverhill-ps.org

HHS Intern Spotlight!

Chromebook Repair Interns from the CTE Computer Science and Information Technology programs. They’ve been hard at work, gaining hands-on experience while assisting the Haverhill Public Schools IT Department. From diagnosing issues to repairing Chromebooks, they’ve played a vital role in keeping student technology up and running!

Congratulations to Ryan, Andrew, and Mike for their dedication and outstanding work throughout their internship. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations to these Tigers! They are the Tilton Elementary iReady Winners. These students made 50% of their stretch growth to earn a scratch ticket for a special prize. Ten golden tickets will be awarded during lunch and a slime activity.

The Transportation Department is hiring! They have open positions for Crossing Guards, Monitors, Van Drivers, and CDL Drivers! Don’t wait, apply now!

The HHS Counseling Department offered seniors without post-secondary plans and/or students who wanted to learn about work opportunities in the community a chance to attend a presentation by Keith Boucher, MakeIT Haverhill, and Yevette Garcia from MassHire Merrimack Valley Workforce Board. They encouraged students to gain confidence, explore their interests and abilities, and connect with them to obtain career services and job coaching and to seek opportunities for employment and training to take the next step in their futures. The HHS Career Technical Education and Counseling/Early College Department will host an in-school job fair for students in March and a college and trade school fair in April. Resume writing workshops will be held soon in collaboration with the MassHire Youth Workforce Board, as they offer many in-school activities for our students.

Our Hillies are dominating the Winter Sports Season! Lauren Downer finished in first place in the 1000-meter run at the 2025 MIAA Division 1 State Championship. The senior finished in 2:54.08, breaking her own school record. She also holds the indoor track school record in the 600 Meter Run. Let’s Go, Lauren!!!

Career Technical Education Healthcare Occupations Sophomores had the opportunity to visit Merrimack College.  Students attended an information session and heard about the offerings provided there and then received a walking tour throughout the campus, with a special focus on their healthcare building and simulation labs.  The day ended with lunch provided by Merrimack College in Sparky’s Place and many smiling faces!  Thank you Merrimack College for an amazing visit!

Bradford Elementary recently held its 3rd Annual. Winterfest: Glow Edition! Pizza, Snacks, Experience Raffle, 50/50 Raffle, and Face-Painting are among some of the activities. Students, staff, and families had a great time dancing the night away, lit by Glow-in-the-Dark artwork our talented students created!

Mrs. Johnston’s Biomedical Science classes were visited by Biobus New England on February 13th.  Students were taken on a voyage of discovery with two scientists – invertebrate neuroscientist Alice Chou and paleoclimatologist Bella Duati.  They learned how to focus and use two powerful microscopes to see living protists.  It was fun to watch the various styles of movement of the many creatures.  In addition students had an opportunity to ask the experts about both lab research and field work.  It was a great adventure on a tiny scale!   We are grateful to Biobus for such an exciting and interactive visit!

Career Technical Education Seniors in the Information Technology and Computer Science & Web Development programs presented their Capstone projects.  These projects are the culmination of their four years in the CTE program.  Students select a topic that is important to them, research and create a deliverable.  It was amazing to hear what they accomplished and we are so proud of them!

Juniors in the Career Technical Education Engineering/Manufacturing program were fortunate to visit Lindt on Valentine’s Day!  Students learned how chocolate is made and toured the facility where they saw advanced manufacturing in action, including robots and autonomous vehicles.  Another great learning opportunity for our students!  Special thanks to Randy Bolduc at Lindt for coordinating the day and hosting our students.

Haverhill High School will be hosting a Job Fair on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, for ALL high school students! If you are looking for a job this is your chance to meet with many of our Community Partners!

As part of the District’s 1:1 initiative, every Haverhill Public Schools student receives a HPS-issued Chromebook. HPS offers the opportunity to protect school-issued devices for the school year by paying a Device Waiver Fee. As outlined in the HPS Student Technology Device Policy, this $20 fee will help to cover the costs of potential damage, repair, or loss for the school year for the assigned device. Visit our website at Device Waiver Fee for more information.
