The WTHS Local SkillsUSA competitions were a HUGE success. From masonry and carpentry to robotics and job demonstrations, students showed off their skills and are advancing to regionals and some are already going to states! Great job to our SkillsUSA student competitors and thank you to our advisors who put in the time! Let's Go!
Got Law! Yep! WTHS has a special partnership with Carsten Wendlandt and Wor-Wic Community College. Here, students are enrolled in a college-level Criminal Law course where they are learning about the admissibility of evidence obtained on a specific scene based on a scenario. This course will blow your mind!
A lot of great things are happening in talented instructor Valerie Zienty's Pre-Engineering class. Here, students are conceptualizing and designing night lights using advanced software. Students use 3-D printers to make their designs "come alive" and see the project through the assembly and testing phase. Wow! Impressive work is being done here!
February is National Career and Technology Education (CTE) month. Each week, students are being exposed to different personal and professional skills. Students are engaging in weekly CTE activities. We will use this month to explore, promote, and reflect on a wide variety of resources and opportunities.
February is National Career and Technology Month. This week students focused on the workplace skill: Safety and Health, and we kicked off the month with a SkillsUSA pep rally on Thursday. Students have been busy preparing for our local SkillsUSA competitions. Those who advance to Regionals will travel to Dorchester on February 19.
WTHS put in the hours breaking down school data and looking at student performance and who is on track to graduate enrolled, enlisted, or employed. We have an all-star team here and the data looks good! 90%+ of students are passing, or are on track to pass, their industry recognized credentials. Over 85% have a 3.0 gpa and above Semester 1. And, YES! ALL seniors to date have a post secondary plan!

Attention WCPS families: With temperatures low, WCPS wants to remind our students and their families to be safe near bodies of water that form ice this time of year. Remember, the ice on ponds, storm water retaining areas, and canals is never strong enough to allow any human to walk on them. Keep the below safety tips in mind for winter water safety.
• Do not walk, skate, or play on frozen bodies of water. A good rule to follow is there is no such thing as a sate thickness of ice in our area.
• Keep pets and children away from ice-covered bodies of water.
Animals are particularly at risk of falling through thin ice.
• Educate children. Tell kids about the dangers of playing near frozen bodies of water and reinforce the importance of never venturing out on the ice.
• Report dangerous conditions. If you see anyone venturing onto the ice, immediately call 91l and inform local authorities.

Worcester drivers—safety starts with you. If you see a school bus with flashing red lights, make sure to stop and wait. Remember to always stop when the stop-arm is out. #WeAreWorcester
Good things are happening all over WTHS! Check out our welding program under the talented instructor Rick Stephens. Students are welding coffee tables and collaborating with carpentry students. Here, students are inserting an ornate wood inset within the table after designing and creating the table. Great job team!
WTHS had a great evening as we hosted and met with over 300 families at our annual Stem & Trades night. We want all students to explore the programs offered at WTHS and choose to participate in one that interests them. There are many options to choose from.
