Medford Public Schools receives funding to launch two new career and technical education pathways at MHS

Medford Public Schools has been awarded a $1.75 million state grant to create two new vocational programs at Medford High School: Information Supporting Services & Networking (ISSN) and Plumbing. The grant will expand career and technical education opportunities for students and support the ongoing Medford High School building project.

Why it matters: This investment opens new pathways for students seeking hands-on technical careers while strengthening the connection between local education and workforce development. The programs align with regional employment demand and the school's modernization efforts.
