Trade High School Vocational Education in Massachusetts is a cooperative venture between the local School Committee and the State Department of Vocational Education. This cooperation between city and state results in a mutual sharing of expense, approval of the teaching staff and general school supervision. The State and Federal Government share in meeting the cost of operating Trade High School by annually returning fifty percent of the expenses to the city. Teachers are subject to both local School Committee and state requirements. A staff of state supervisors regularly visits the school to aid in problems of administration and to see that state regulations governing vocational schools are followed. Trade High School is not a public school, in that the kind of education which it offers differs in aim and character from the general education provided in public schools. It is also a private school for the reason that no one may be compelled to attend Trade High School. The purpose of Trade High School is to help students find their place in society by becoming useful citizens and to secure profitable employment by learning a trade. Students will be considered for admission who are fifteen years of age and have completed at least the eighth grade. In order to remain in school, a student must consistently demonstrate his desire and ability to profit from the instruction. A high school diploma in a specific trade is granted to those students who have successfully completed a Junior High School course and three years at Trade. If a student transfers from another high school to Trade after having partially completed his high school course, he may be granted a high school diploma, but not in a specific trade unless his required shop work in his trade is successfully completed. A Trade School diploma is given to those students who have successfully completed three years at Trade High School but have not completed Junior High School. A Trade School diploma is also given to students who show proficiency in a trade but are unable to meet academic requirements. Anyone admitted to Trade High School successfully completing a specified course of study will receive a Trade School Certificate. The graduation policy of our school has been formed to meet the greatly varying needs and abilities of students who desire vocational training. Candidates for a high school diploma must demonstrate their ability to perform academic work consistent with high school standards.
