Thank you to everyone who made the Alumni Day possible this last Friday. This model with specific shops and career plans worked well for the first time out of the gate. Next year we will need to make sure we have alumni from each shop/trade to round out the experience for all seniors. Shop instructors should expect this to be part of their Fall 2020 activities.
You want to hear something scary! It is back!! Friday, March 13th. No, not the latest horror flick. This Friday the 13th marks the return of Trivia Night to South Shore Tech. All Proceeds for this fundraiser will go to offset the cost of the service-learning trip to Houston in April. So gather your teammates, sharpen your weapons - that's brains folks, and await further instructions as the hour draws near.
We have updated and added phone extensions to the Barn Locker Room and Greenhouse. Please use this link to view a new up-to-date list. Staff Phone Directory
