Wareham High School is in the process of renewing its accreditation, and Principal Scott Palladino reported at the Jan. 21 School Committee meeting that the first steps have gone smoothly.
The school has been continuously accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), and is working toward renewing that status.
First, officials and teachers work on a self-study before hosting other educators at a “collaborative conference,” which is an opportunity for officials to get feedback from peers.
That conference happened in Nov. 2020, Palladino reported, and resulted in lots of positive feedback.
The school met four of five standards laid out by NEASC: learning culture, student learning, professional practice, and learning support. The school does not yet meet the standard for learning resources, but Palladino said the school has made significant progress and plans to meet that standard by the end of the school yea

December 16, 2020BERLIN White Mountains Community College (WMCC) recently partnered with Genfoot, a Canadian-owned factory in Littleton that manufactures rubber and sewn boots, to offer a Frontline Management Essentials course to groom and prepare Genfoot s shift leaders for career advancement within the company. Eight Genfoot shift leaders completed the course in November and are now prepared to share new concepts with leaders and fellow crew members. Because of the necessary skills needed for Genfoot s exclusive technology, it s been difficult to hire outward, said Mark Bonta, plant manager. By partnering with WMCC to create a workforce development program, we are investing in the personal career goals of our people and the quality of our culture and are grooming our younger generation to be successful and ready for promotion.
