Hello Haverhill High School Families,
Next year’s schedules will be available to students’ guidance counselors when we return from break. Counselors will be calling students out of class to resolve holes or conflicts in students’ schedules. Students need to be in class to be called down to guidance by the counselor to resolve conflicts. STUDENTS WHO DROP INTO GUIDANCE WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT, WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO CHANGE THEIR SCHEDULE. All schedule issues will be resolved by June 1, 2024. There will be no add/drop period in the fall. Thank you for your support as we work to streamline this process.

Dear Haverhill Public Schools Families,
Our applications for the Summer 2024 Discovery Club (current grades K-8) and Access 21 (current grades 9-12) Programs are now live on our website. Discovery Club and Access 21 will be offering Enrichment Programming in the morning only this summer for students at our target schools who are not required to enroll in another academic program which takes preference over enrichment. The program will run from July 1-25 (M-TH). No program on July 4. Our grants require a commitment to attend all days of the program.
There will be no extended-day Discovery Club programming this summer.
We are intentionally recruiting students from our grant-funded sites. Schools include: Bradford, Golden Hill, Pentucket Lake, Silver Hill, and Tilton Elementary Schools; Consentino, Nettle and Whittier Middle Schools; and Haverhill High School.
If there is still room after that, we will consider students from other schools. Please click on the Application Icon to go to the Summer 2024 Discovery Club & Access 21 applications! The application is available on the Haverhill Public Schools Website – Parent/Student Resources
- Discovery Club/Access 21. You can also access the page by using the QR Code below.
We have applications in MULTIPLE languages including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Creole,
and Arabic.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to the Discovery Club office with any questions. Thank you in advance for your assistance in helping us recruit students for a fun, hands-on summer enrichment program!

HOP Mock Interviews
HHS Career Technical Education Healthcare Occupations Juniors participated in the Annual Mock Interview event. Students practiced their interviewing skills and received valuable feedback. This will help them be successful as they prepare for college and future internship/employment opportunities. Special thanks to our business partners – we could not do this day without them!

VICOR Factory visit
Vicor rolled out the red carpet for the HHS Career Technical Education Engineering/Manufacturing Sophomores! Students heard from Bob Hall, VP of Materials, Rich Paulauskas, VP of Quality, and John Nguyen, VP of Operations who shared their career paths and spoke of the value of hard work and perseverance. Finally, Melissa Chamberlain, manufacturing engineer and Britney Grainger, engineering technician shared their experiences working at Vicor prior to leading a tour through the factory floor, which included the recent 95,000 square foot expansion. Everyone was excited to see the water baths in action! The day ended with a delicious luncheon and more informal conversations, as well as generous swag bags for all. Thank you to everyone at Vicor for making this a special learning opportunity for our students!
HHS Career Technical Education Healthcare Occupations Freshmen and Biomedical Science sophomores attended the Healthcare Career Expo at Parkland Medical Center in Derry. Parkland professionals welcomed students with opportunities to learn about the individual careers available at the hospital. Students learned about Respiratory Therapy, Oncology Nursing, Facilities Management and Emergency Medical Technician jobs by engaging in activities that represented technology they may see on the units. Parkland staff from Bariatric Interventions, Gastroenterology and Surgical Services allowed students to interact with some of the equipment used every day in their departments. Nurses from the Department of Mental Health Services offered students an opportunity to see for themselves what living with Schizophrenia is really like through an online simulation. Surgery physician Dr. Donald Yarbrough spoke with students about the different job positions available in a hospital setting as well as the required education for them. Parkland staff was warm and welcoming to our future healthcare workers! Thank you Parkland Medical Center for an amazing visit!
Birthing Gently
Students in the HHS CTE Healthcare Occupations program had the amazing opportunity to attend a workshop in preparation for becoming a Birthing Doula. Tara Campbell, owner of Birthing Gently in Haverhill, spent four full days with Seniors and Sophomores. Students engaged in lessons about childbirth, comfort measures during childbirth and postpartum mother and baby care. This training allows students entry into a fast growing healthcare field and helps to familiarize them with DONA International, the first and largest doula training and certification organization. Attending this workshop is the first step towards Doula certification!
