Congratulations to all!
“This grant will allow us to renovate and expand instructional space to establish two new Chapter 74 programs: HVAC and Facilities Maintenance Management. These programs will serve both high school students and adult CTI learners, providing them with critical industry skills and credentials in high-demand fields” said Nashoba Tech Superintendent Dr. Denise Pigeon.
In an announcement released by Gov. Maura Healey, she discussed the importance of the grant in providing greater access to technical education for those seeking a technical education.
“Across Massachusetts, we’re hearing from students and families who want access to career technical education. That’s why we’re making a $70 million investment to expand programs, create new seats and modernize training facilities so more students can get the skills they need and step into strong, in-demand careers,” said Governor Maura Healey. “This investment will expand capacity, create new opportunities and ensure more students can gain the skills they need to succeed, while strengthening our workforce and supporting employers across the state.”
Good Luck to our Nashoba Tech Culinary ProStart team who are in Baltimore competing in the National ProStart Invitational. Opening ceremonies will be held today (Apr. 24) at 4:15pm, with closing ceremonies on Sunday (Apr. 26) at 7pm.
The students won first place for the second straight year at the Massachusetts ProStart Competition, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
At the Invitational, the students have one hour to complete a three-course meal using only two burners and no other electronic equipment.
Students on Nashoba Tech’s ProStart team are Jillian Cambridge (junior, Ayer), Colby Hebert (senior, Ayer), Alexis Linstad (senior, Chelmsford), Samantha Richards (senior, Chelmsford) and Tyler Zerbinopoulos (senior, Chelmsford).

15 Cosmetology Students volunteered their time on Sunday to help the The Department of Children and Families Lowell Branch, at their annual Hair Care Event. Our students along with professional barbers helped over 20 children feel their absolute best by washing, braiding, twisting, coiling and cutting the children's hair. This event invites foster parents in our area come to Nashoba Tech and learn all about how to care for textured hair from specialists from Salon Forza in Andover while the children get services done. We are so grateful to be part of this amazing event for the third year in a row!

We hope you’re hungry for some good news, because Nashoba Tech’s ProStart students have truly outdone themselves once again! Our team went into the kitchen, felt the heat, and came out on top.
It’s a "big dill" to see our students sweep the awards like this. Please join us in a huge round of applause for our stars:

Chef C, Chef Wilson, and all of the Prostart students!
About 50 students and 6 staff members spent a beautiful, sunny February vacation day skiing and riding at Pats Peak. Many participants took a lesson and tried skiing or snowboarding for the very first time and crushed it!
With blue skies and perfect conditions, it was a day full of laughter, learning, and lots of smiles. We’re so proud of everyone who stepped outside their comfort zone and made the most of this amazing experience!
You can find these adventurous students at Pat's Peak on Thursday nights through the month of March.
