Happy Tech Tuesday! If you visited Sunapee’s Haunted Harbor Walk on Halloween, you saw our SRVRTC Engineering students’ hard work in action!
Over the past few weeks, students repaired animatronics by testing sensors, fixing gears, soldering, and troubleshooting electrical connections. When the witches, skeletons, and ghouls arrived, almost none were working. Thanks to our students’ technical skills and problem-solving, these spooky characters were ready to bring the event to life (and scare their teacher a few times along the way)! 😂
Real-world skills. Hands-on learning. Community impact. That’s CTE in action!

You wouldn’t buy a car without a test drive… so why choose a CTE program without trying it out first?
At SRVRTC, we believe the best way to discover your interests is by getting hands-on experience!
Each month, 8th graders from Newport Middle School and Newport Montessori School spend about an hour exploring one of our 10 Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. They might try a new skill, complete a hands-on activity, or get a glimpse of what students learn in that program. By the end of the school year, they’ll have had the chance to test drive all 10 programs!
And the exploration doesn’t stop there! As freshmen at Newport High School, students can sign up for quarter-long introductory classes that offer a deeper look into a program. These classes earn elective credit while helping students decide which pathway might be the right fit for them.
Choosing a two-year program is a big decision, but it’s a little easier when you’ve had the chance to get behind the wheel first!

FFA students recently had the opportunity to compete at Deerfield Fair in forestry, floral design, and dairy judging. This is the first opportunity many students have had to showcase the skills they've been learning in the classroom. The forestry competition consisted of tree ID, bow saw, log roll, crosscut, wood split, and pulp toss. The Sugar River team placed third overall, with many individual first-place scorers.
Some students competed in floral design competitions, either bringing a pre-made arrangement with them or competing in an on-site design competition, with students placing third, second, and first.
We also had students participate in dairy judging, where they had to assess sets of dairy cows and goats based on their strengths as a dairy animal.
Our students had a fun-filled and successful day at the fair!

On this Tech Tuesday, we recognize our Sending Students!
Every day, SRVRTC welcomes 72 students from Sunapee, Claremont, and Kearsarge High Schools who join us to explore careers through our 10 CTE programs.
Their presence does more than expand opportunities for these students—it enriches the experience of every student at SRVRTC. In a small school community, sending students bring new perspectives, friendships, and experiences to our classrooms, labs, and student organizations.
Through the Region 10 Agreement, sending schools provide tuition for their students to attend SRVRTC, just as Newport students have the opportunity to participate in CTE programs in Claremont.
Our sending students are an important part of our culture. They participate in classes, CTE leadership organizations, and even serve on our Director’s Cabinet.
We are grateful for the energy, perspectives, and talents they bring to SRVRTC every day!

Our Automotive Technology students recently traveled to Lake George, NY, for the 37th Annual Adirondack Nationals Car Show!
With roughly 1,500 classic cars, hot rods, muscle cars, and custom builds on display, students had the opportunity to explore incredible vehicles, connect with people in the automotive industry, and expand their ideas about what’s possible in the world of automotive technology.
Older vehicles also provide a simplified learning opportunity, allowing students to see critical engine components like carburetors, belts, and fuel intake systems more clearly—without all the electronics found in newer engines.
From classic cars to future careers, this was a trip full of inspiration, exploration, and learning!

SRVRTC Newport offers students a plethora of Health Science related paths through Health Science Technology (HST), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA) options.
Newport’s HST program is a two-year program that helps prepare high school students for various health careers through a blend of academic instruction, hands-on laboratory practice, and clinical experience. The course introduces students to diverse healthcare professions, ranging from physician and pre-med tracks to biomedical technology, nursing, sports medicine, emergency medicine, and diagnostic medicine.
The HST program is a highly successful program that has been in place since SRVRTC opened in Newport more than 30 years ago. Students can earn ten college credits in Human Biology, Medical Terminology and Law & Ethics in Health through River Valley Community College at no cost to students/families. Graduates from the program have gone on to become X-ray technicians, physical therapists, nurses, doctors, psychologists, dental hygienists, and EMTs.
Newport also offers Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), a certification course which prepares the student for national certification and state licensure. Authorized by the New Hampshire Department of Safety’s Bureau of EMS, the foundational level of emergency medical services (EMS) care, this two semester certification program prepares students to assess and treat victims of sudden illness and injury. All EMTs must understand how to handle emergency situations and rely upon their training to manage each situation they face. This program prepares the EMT student to perform and provide patient assessment, bleeding control, airway management, oxygen delivery, splinting and spinal immobilization, administration of medications, and cardiac arrest management. After successful completion of the EMT program students must pass the national cognitive exam to become certified by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) in order to become eligible for state licensure.
Over the last eight years, SRVRTC has contracted with community partners who offer LNA courses at no cost to our students. More recently, students have also accessed LNA certification through local employment opportunities. Students can earn their license in as little as six weeks. We continue to support students in earning LNA certifications through these and similar approaches.

Today, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you to Mr. Eric Perry, who has served as the SRVRTC Director for the past four years here in Newport, as well as taught the Health Sciences program prior to his current role .
Over the last several years, Eric has helped take the Tech Center to new heights, creating an environment that has fostered tremendous growth for our programs, students, staff, and the local community. It has been a privilege to work alongside him and witness firsthand his passion, dedication, and tenacity when it comes to Career and Technical Education.
Eric has served on state legislative committees, helping shape policies that create incredible opportunities for students across New Hampshire. He has supported our staff in developing high quality programs that we are incredibly proud of and has been a strong advocate for our students every step of the way. We also cannot overlook the important role he played during our renovation project, working tirelessly to ensure our programs had the best possible spaces to learn and grow. The list goes on and on, it's impossible to list all the endless behind the scenes work and late nights that you put into this role but that work is evident when you take a step back and look at the growth of our CTE Community.
While we know the Tech Center is in a great position moving forward with Sarah Fischer stepping into the Director role next year, goodbyes are never easy when it comes to someone who has had such a lasting impact on our school.
Eric, thank you for your leadership, your dedication, and your unwavering belief in the value of CTE. You will be greatly missed, and we wish you nothing but success in your next role. The education world is fortunate to have you.
Thank you, Mr. Perry!

This week, we’re highlighting a unique and exciting event in our Welding program “Teach a Teacher” Day!
During this hands on experience, our Welding students stepped into the role of instructor, teaching high school and middle school staff the basics of MIG and stick welding. It was an incredible opportunity for students to take ownership of their skills, build confidence, and reinforce their knowledge by teaching others.
Beyond the hands on work, this day really showcased how welding brings together a wide range of skills like precision and measurement, scientific understanding of materials and heat, creativity in design, and strong communication and collaboration in the lab.
At the same time, staff gained a deeper understanding of how CTE classes operate and the level of skill our students are developing every day. It’s a powerful reminder of the value of experiential learning and the expertise our students are building.
A huge thank you to our talented students for sharing their skills, and to Ms. Kerin-Herrick for creating and guiding this meaningful experience!
