6. New Innovation Pathways Designations:
Earlier this month, the Baker-Polito Administration awarded Innovation Pathway designations to Agawam, Brockton, and Burlington high schools and Atlantis Charter School in Fall River. They join 14 other high schools that received the designation previously. Launched in 2017, Innovation Pathways give students experience in a specific high-demand industry through coursework and internships at local employers. Students earn college credits, at no cost to them, and gain insight as to whether the field is something they want to pursue in college or as a career. Congratulations to the newly designated programs!
