The Career and Technical Education (CTE) programming is mostly located at the Dean Campus and it includes: Automotive Collision, Diesel Technology, Programming and Web Development, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Health Assisting, Machine Technology, Carpentry and Electrical.
HHS offers many academy offerings to our students. An academy is defined as a program of study comprised of a series of courses, work-based experiences such as job shadowing and internships with local companies and projects built around the academy’s theme. Each academy will also include regular curriculum courses — English language arts, math, science and social studies.
Tenth-grade students are the first class to participate in Holyoke’s redesigned high school experience featuring four theme-based linked-learning academies designed to prepare them to acquire 21st-century skills such as thinking, problem-solving, creativity and collaboration.
- Community and Global Studies Academy
- Technology, Engineering, and Design Academy
- Performing and Media Arts Academy
- Medical and Life Sciences Academy
Other academy offerings for high school students are the Freshman Academy (for ninth-grade students), Newcomer Program (for those new to the English language and the country), and Opportunity Academy (for students in need of an alternative pathway to graduation).
