WHS ENGINEERING STUDENTS 

And this is why our students deserve a world-class, state of the art high school with the most up to date labs and equipment! Over 500 students and 150 industry professionals from across Massachusetts gathered together the week of October 17th at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston for the Mass STEM Hub Showcase as part of the Mass STEM Week Challenge.  The project theme for this year was “Careers in STEM”.  WHS science teacher Matt Burns brought 5 teams from his Principles of Engineering (POE) class to participate in the challenge.  They did a great job on their projects and learned so much from the experience.  After Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito and a few other people gave some inspiring speeches, our very own Environmental Engineering team won an award and was explicitly recognized by the judges for their overall presentation, collaboration, teamwork, multimedia component, and audience engagement.  For this they each won a 100 hour paid internship in STEM.  Please congratulate Owen Manchek, Gabe Fadlon, Nathan Gaffin and Muhammad Hasan on this incredible achievement and a HUGE thank you to Matt Burns for making it possible!

On September 6, 2022 Mayor McCarthy and Superintendent Reagan were honored to host Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito at the site of the new Waltham High School.  Lorraine Finnegan of SMMA and Jim Hervol of Consigli Construction reviewed the design with the Lt. Gov. and then provided a tour of the site.  During the visit Lt. Governor Polito met with members of the construction and design team and many of the tradesmen actively working on the project.
