Worcester Technical High School

Lottery #'s will be up on their application page at https://techhigh.go2cte.com/ by Friday. I highly encourage parents and students to log on and follow their progress from this site as opposed to calling for this information. If they have forgotten their log in, they may click the ? on the home page to reset.

All non-WPS students were assigned their "Lottery School" based on their address and which of the 6 WPS schools they would have attended.

FROM TIM SIPPLE:

Greetings!

You are receiving this message because your son or daughter has applied for admission to Worcester Technical High School for the fall of 2022. The interest in the career vocational/technical programs at Worcester Tech has been overwhelming! More than 1,000 students have applied for one of the 400 seats in next year's 9th grade class.

Per Worcester School Committee policy, the district will conduct a "tiered lottery" on April 13 to determine which students are admitted from each middle school and then place the remaining students on a designated waiting list for each school.

Each applicant will be assigned a "lottery number." Cards with these numbers will be drawn at random determine admissions outcomes for the applicants from each school. You will receive your son or daughter's lottery number via email by Friday, April 8. You will be informed via email and US Postal Service of your son or daughter's admissions status (either accepted or waiting list) by April 30.

If you would like to watch the admissions lottery live, the process will be broadcast on Wednesday, April 13 beginning at 2:45 p.m. via Zoom webinar, Facebook Live, and WEA-TV Channel 11. We will begin drawing lottery numbers for applicants from the first middle school at 3:00 p.m. The Zoom link will be placed on the worcesterschools.org website by Wednesday, April 6 (one week in advance of the lottery).

Lottery numbers will be drawn and announced for all applicants from each school. Please be assured that no names or other personal information will be disclosed during the lottery. Again, you will receive notice of your child's admissions status via email and US Postal Service by April 30.

If you have questions, please contact Worcester Tech at (508) 799-1909 ext 50292. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Timothy Sippel, Ed.L.D.
