Northern Essex Community College Haverhill Campus

In April 2024, the Healey-Driscoll Administration announced initial steps to explore a shared campus model for Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School on the Haverhill Campus of Northern Essex Community College. The collaborative effort with state and local partners aims to meet the evolving educational needs of the region’s students and communities, efficiently and affordably.

This partnership between WT and NECC will explore ways to create a new, modern facility for Whittier Tech, allow for expanded access to postsecondary education across northeastern Massachusetts, and increase enrollment capacity at both institutions. It will also open up new avenues for potential new funding sources in the Merrimack Valley.

Public Listening Sessions

The public is invited to share feedback on any potential future collaboration between Whittier Tech and NECC. To participate, individuals must provide contact information and availability; sessions will be held on Zoom, audio will be recorded, and participation will be confidential and voluntary.

These 90-minute sessions will be facilitated by the UMass Donahue Institute.
