Dear Shawsheen Students, Families, and Colleagues: 

At last night's Citizenship Awards ceremony for grades 11 & 12, we recognized another exceptional group of Shawsheen students, just as we did at last week's ceremony for grade 9 & 10 students! Citizenship award recipients were nominated by their teachers and counselors for being positive members of our school community who embody our core values of accountability, integrity, and respect. Please join me in congratulating these students (listed below) - Go Rams!

Shawsheen Swap - Survey to Determine Interest

The Shawsheen Tech Student Cabinet requests that you complete this brief survey to help us plan our first ever 'Shawsheen Swap.' The purpose of this event will be to provide members of our school community with affordable access to in-demand items that have been gently used and donated by other members of our school community. Items would be re-sold at a minimal cost, all proceeds would be donated back to support Shawsheen students, and any unsold items would be donated to a local charity/thrift store.

Please help students determine the feasibility of hosting a successful event for our school community this year by completing the following (very brief) survey: Shawsheen Swap Survey.

Reminder: January 22nd Open House - Help Spread the Word to Prospective Students!

Shawsheen Valley Technical School invites prospective students and their families to its winter Open House on Wednesday evening January 22, 2025, from 6-8 pm. This event offers a view into the school's academic, career, and vocational-technical programs, with the added attraction of hands-on activities in each vocational program. During the Open House, attendees will have the chance to meet coaches and athletic teams, explore extracurricular clubs and activities, and engage in hands-on experiences that showcase Shawsheen’s vocational-technical offerings. Additionally, representatives will be present to provide information on various programs, such as the adult and continuing education program, Shawsheen’s School of Practical Nursing, the ‘Summer at Shawsheen’ program, 7th grade Project Explore, and the aquatics and swim programs.

For those considering enrollment, the admissions department will be available to answer questions about the application process. The application deadline for the class of 2029 is February 1st, underscoring the importance for prospective students to take advantage of this opportunity. In the event of inclement weather, the snow date for Shawsheen’s Open House will be January 23, 2025, from 6-8pm. Visit Shawsheen Tech on January 22nd to discover the educational pathways available through career and technical education, and to experience firsthand, what it means to be a Shawsheen Ram.
