Happy Tech Tuesday!
Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) has started off the year creating a culture that would help any business rise to the top! Professionalism, workplace culture, and soft skills are just a few of the important lessons our Business & Marketing Program students take with them and build on in FBLA. During events like team meetings and game night the students are able to work with each other and problem solve on situations that may not always arise in the classroom. This is an advantage for our students because it allows them to have new experiences that they are able to build off, or create new connections with other students forging stronger bonds and deeper thinking between peers when faced with new situations. We are stronger together than alone and our Business program is a prime example of how to grow and thrive as a unit.
Happy Tech Tuesday!
Our Level II Education and Behavioral Science students are pinning up their skills all around the school leaving our eyes anything but "board". The students have taken on the planning and creation of multiple bulletin boards in the Tech Center as well in the High School. The students are working on collaboration skills by learning about the teachers and their subjects, and how they can creatively produce a bulletin board that draws your attention while also being functional and reaching their target audience. This project also combines a number of elements, including EBS's working with school and community competency, using educational tools (like our Cricuts, printers, and laminators) as well as project and time management.
Thank you for brightening up our space EBS!
(A number students who worked diligently on these boards are not pictured but their hard work is still appreciated.)

Happy 1st Tech Tuesday of the 2025–2026 school year!
We kicked off the year in a big way. We held a ribbon cutting ceremony for both our newly renovated Tech Center main building and our new Agriculture Center!
It was a truly special day, and we were honored to have so many key contributors in attendance. From our dedicated staff and members of the Department of Education, to the architects, project donors, and our incredible Program Advisory Committee members we want to thank you all for your support and partnership.
Most importantly, we want to give a HUGE thank you to the entire Newport community. Your continued support whether through donations, collaboration, or simply cheering us on makes everything we do possible. These upgraded facilities are a testament to what we can achieve together, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience the benefits they’ll bring to our students, programs, and industry within our region!
Today's the day! Come join us to celebrate the completion of the renovation of your Career & Technical Education (CTE) Center.
SRVRTC Newport is excited to welcome our new CTE Level 1 students and welcome back our Level 2 students. For Newport students, you will visit your CTE program during orientation. For our partner school districts (Claremont, Sunapee, and Kearsarge), we will see you on Tuesday September 2nd.
Come Celebrate with Us!
SRVRTC CTE: Riding in Style
Sugar River Valley Regional Technical Center (SRVRTC) of Newport has been awarded a Career & Technical Education (CTE) Transportation Aid Grant of $137,500.00 from the New Hampshire Department of Education. The grant has provided SRVRTC Newport with two 15-passenger vans. In addition to the cost of the vans, the grant award also included funding for graphics and identification on the vans. The purpose of the grant was to ensure student access to all aspects of CTE, including students traveling to their designated CTE program location, industry connection, and career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities.
“Having the two vans creates an incredible flexibility for our nine CTE programs. Teachers can better plan career and industry related activities knowing that transportation will not be a barrier. It is truly a game-changer for our school. Our district transportation team is highly responsive to our needs, but it is a challenge to coordinate some trips that require more flexibility to coordinate a last-minute date change or to accept an industry opportunity with short notice” said Eric W. Perry, Newport’s CTE Director.
Perry also stated “once we knew the grant was approved we asked our students to come up with a design that represents the uniqueness of our regional CTE center, and is professionally appealing.” The final design for the vans was created by Business & Marketing Students Carter White (Newport High School) and Malachi Caple (Stevens High School) had the winning design. The two students met with the local vehicle graphics company to finalize the design and make some revisions. As a reward for their winning design, the students were permitted to affix their signatures on the back of the vans. The final installation of the graphics took place on June 4th.
Capel stated “It was good working in collaboration with the guys making it, learning how to compromise was important. We used skills used in our Business & Marketing Program to communicate, market SRVRTC, and negotiate a final design.” White added “The vans will give students a reliable mode of transportation to access learning opportunities without having to worry about how they will get there. It’s one less thing that teachers and students have to worry about, one less obstacle. We’d like to thank SRVRTC’s administration for letting us participate in this amazing opportunity. Both of us [Capel & White] are grateful to have been involved.” For developing the winning design, Capel and White were able to have vinyl reproductions of their signatures placed on the van.
Beyond enhancing opportunities for CTE students and reducing transportation barriers, there is another incredible learning opportunity embedded in the purchase of the vans. The SRVRTC Newport Automotive Technology Program has been appointed the custodian of the vans. This gives Automotive Technology students hands-on experience in fleet management, preventative maintenance, pre and post trip inspections, safety, and general maintenance. “This is a win-win situation for our students,” said Perry.
You’re Invited!

Yesterday's Career Exploration Day was a big success at Newport High School, Newport Middle School, and SRVRTC Newport!
More than 60 local businesses participated by speaking on a panel, having a table at our Opportunity Fair or presenting about careers in their fields. It gave 6th through 10th grade students a chance to gain insight on what careers are available, which industries they might enjoy the most, and what it takes to be successful.
We would like to thank everyone who partnered with us. We value your time and appreciate your incredible support of Newport students!
Our Health Science Technology II students are currently learning Medical Law & Ethics. This program is also a dual enrollment class with River Valley Community College, this means they're earning High School credit and College credit at the same time. Today, students acted out a scenario as a Physician, an RN, a Hospital Administrator, a patient with a terminal illness, and the patient's family as they discussed end-of-life care and the importance of a Living Will. A Living Will is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding medical care, to specify treatments you do or do not want.
