About
The Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational High School, located in Wakefield MA, and also known as “Northeast Metro Tech” (NEMT), is a grades 9-12 comprehensive vocational and technical high school that provides academic and vocational programs for approximately 1,250 students from twelve surrounding communities: Chelsea, Malden, Melrose, North Reading, Reading, Revere, Saugus, Stoneham, Wakefield, Winchester, Winthrop and Woburn.
In March 2022, the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) and the District executed a Project Funding Agreement (PFA) authorizing approval of a new ~$317.4 million school set within the wooded hillside within the District’s property. The new ~386,000 SF school will be designed for Grades 9-12 and offer 21st century learning opportunities to an expanded enrollment of 1,600 students.
