Sudbury Picks Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School for Vocational School

SUDBURY, MA — Students in the Subdury school system who wish to pursue a vocational path can now choose Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School in Marlborough.

Sudbury’s Vocational Education Guidance Committee and the Sudbury Public School Committee selected Assabet for students pursuing a vocational education beginning in school year 2017-2018.

Students now in eighth grade at Ephraim Curtis Middle School who wish to pursue a vocational education will be able to apply to Assabet Valley for admission for the school year beginning in September 2017. As with all vocational education high schools, students must meet Assabet’s admission requirements, said the announcement.

Earlier this year Sudbury, along with five other towns, voted to withdraw from the Minuteman Regional School District. The withdrawals become effective July 1, 2017. Sudbury students currently at Minuteman will be able to continue their studies there and graduate from Minuteman.

Assabet Valley representatives will visit Curtis Middle School in the coming months to introduce students and parents to their school, its programs, and answer questions. Sudbury students considering applying to Assabet Valley will have an opportunity to visit the school.

Sudbury will be making arrangements for transportation to and from Assabet Valley.
