HPS eighth graders from Sullivan and Peck middle schools recently toured Holyoke High School’s North and Dean campuses to learn more about the academic and extracurricular opportunities available to them at each school.
There was a lot of information for students to take in as they explored the schools’ physical spaces and had conversations with high school staff and students. Soon they will need to decide if they want to apply for admission to Dean Tech or attend HHS North. Both campuses offer high-interest pathways for students that:
Prepare students for career and college success;
Offer applied learning opportunities in the classroom and the community;
Are aligned to 21st century education and industry-based standards;
Provide opportunities for students to earn stackable credentials; and
Offer opportunities for advanced coursework and work-based learning.
There are unique opportunities at each school, as well:
At North Campus, students begin their 9th grade year in the Freshman Academy and then will select one of three theme-based academies—Performing and Media Arts, Community and Global Studies, or Engineering and Life Science—for grades 10-12.
At Dean Campus, students initially explore and later select one of nine career, vocational and technical education (CVTE) programs. Please note that the Dean Campus requires an application process. See below for more information.
Students interested in applying for admission to Dean Tech can apply online at www.enrollholyoke.schoolmint.com or contact the Enrollment Services Office for support. More information about fall admission to Dean is available in English and Spanish, and in other languages upon request.
