Haverhill High School students who will take part in a new Graphic Design and Visual Communications program got a boost last week from a nearly $15,000 state Innovation Career Pathway Planning Grant.
As WHAV reported first last May, Haverhill chose to add the program to its career technical education program after a similar course of study was dropped by Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School.
“This new Innovation Pathway in Graphic Design and Visual Communications will prepare students for success in both college and careers while strengthening connections between Haverhill Public Schools and our local workforce,” said school department Supervisor of Career and Technical Education Victoria Kelley.
Haverhill was among 26 schools from across the state to share in nearly $5.4 million, awarded during Massachusetts STEM Week. In a release, the state explained, “Through these programs, students explore STEM-related careers, take advanced coursework, and gain real-world experience through internships and work-based learning—all at no cost to them.”
Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll added, “These programs don’t just give students real-world experience—they connect them to the industries driving Massachusetts’ future. That’s why we’re investing in more planning grants, so even more students can access these opportunities. STEM Week is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when schools, employers and communities work together to open new doors for our students.”
