DEARBORN AWARDED STATE GRANT FOR PATHWAYS WORK!

Dearborn STEM Academy one of 14 MA Schools Awarded Innovation Pathways Grant
BOSTON —
The Baker-Polito Administration today awarded more than $676,000 in grants to 14 high schools that have launched new early career programs for students, giving them experience in a specific high-demand industry through college coursework and internships with local employers.
Students are able to choose an area of study, such as information technology, life sciences or advanced manufacturing, and gain knowledge and insight as to whether the field is something they are interested in pursuing, as well as earn college credits at no cost to them prior to graduation.
The high schools that received grants today had their programs, known as Innovation Pathways, approved by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in Spring 2019 in preparation for fall enrollment. More than 1,000 students are expected to be enrolled in programs at these 14 high schools, and across the Commonwealth more than 1,500 students are enrolled in early career programs at 26 high schools.
“These early career programs provide students a head-start in learning and thinking about future career options so that they are able to make informed decisions about what they want to pursue in college and beyond,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “We are proud to continue to invest in these important programs that can shape a student’s future success.”
“Innovation Pathways are designed to build strong partnerships between high schools and local employers to offer students the knowledge and experience in growing, in demand industries throughout the Commonwealth,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “By providing more young people hands-on career experiences, we can increase their skills and engage with them in a new, innovative and exciting way.”
Lt. Governor Polito made the announcement while visiting Brockton High School with Education Secretary James Peyser.
SUMMER SEARCH SELECTS 12 DEARBORN STEM ACADEMY SOPHOMORES TO JOIN PROGRAM.
SUMMER SEARCH serves students with great potential, but unequal opportunity due to systemic inequities that stifle their ability to obtain post-secondary degrees, participate in the workforce, or gain financial stability.
Through a combination of mentoring and transformative experiences, Summer Search students strengthen the skills they need to thrive in school, work, and life.
IN ADDITION TO THE MENTORING, SUMMER SEARCH STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN SUMMER TRAVEL/TRIPS, ONE BETWEEN THEIR 10TH AND 11TH GRADE YEARS AND ANOTHER BETWEEN 11TH AND 12TH GRADE.
