BOURNE — Superintendent Kerri Anne Quinlan-Zhou is pleased to announce that Bourne High School has been awarded a $50,000 Skills Capital Grant, courtesy of the Healey-Driscoll administration.
On Monday, June 10, nearly $15 million in Skills Capital Grants were awarded to schools across the state to support them in upgrading technology and instructional lab spaces, expanding career programs for young people and adults, and increasing capacity in workforce training programs across Massachusetts.
The $50,000 in funding will be used to purchase 6 Anatomage virtual dissection tablets to use in conjunction with existing Anatomage tables in the science program,
a Spirit Box vending machine for the DECA Business Program, and “The Wheelhouse” School Store, which consists of a plexiglass store structure, shelving and merchandising equipment, and a point of sale program for the DECA Business Program.
The Skills Capital Grants are awarded by the state’s Workforce Skills Cabinet, which aligns education, economic development, and workforce policies to meet employers’ demand for skilled workers in every region of Massachusetts. The competitive grants are awarded to educational institutions demonstrating partnerships with local businesses and aligning curriculum and credentials with industry demand to maximize hiring opportunities.
“This grant, along with others that have been awarded over the years, helps support our vision of “Reimagining Education” at Bourne High School through Career Pathways, senior internships and relevant, hands-on education,” said Superintendent Quinlan-Zhou. “We can’t wait to see how our students flourish with the new tools and features that this grant will provide the school with, and so we are extending a big thank you to members of the Workforce Skills Cabinet for this opportunity.”
