In the spring of 2025, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) awarded WMHS with TWO Innovation Career Pathways designations, in Advanced Manufacturing and Health Care and Social Assisting.  In FY26, we are launching these pathways by aligning existing and new coursework into clear Course Plans for students who are interested in these broad career fields, and providing students with the support they need to navigate these Plans.

Our Implementation Committee and our Advisory Board are overseeing and supporting the roll out, and our talented and dedicated staff will continue and expand their efforts to connect classroom learning to the world of work.  We have employed MEFA Pathways as the organizational tool for our students to manage their growing portfolios and resumes online.
