Nashoba Regional High School has been awarded an additional $50,000 through the Innovation Pathways Implementation and Support Grant. This award builds on the Implementation and Support funding the district has received over the past two years, as well as the $96,425 Skills Capital Technology and Equipment Grant awarded in 2025. Together, these state investments have supported the continued development and expansion of Nashoba’s Innovation Pathways Program.

Nashoba’s Innovation Pathways Program provides students with opportunities to explore their interests, build career-ready skills, and connect their learning to the world beyond the classroom. Students enrolled in a pathway complete 16 credits of pathway coursework throughout their time at Nashoba, preparing them to complete a 100-hour internship or capstone project related to their pathway sector during their senior year. Along the way, students have opportunities to participate in industry-related field trips, guest speaker sessions, certification modules and preparation, and concurrent enrollment offerings.

Nashoba currently offers three Innovation Pathways: Advanced Engineering & Manufacturing, Business & Finance, and Information Technology.

The Nashoba Innovation Pathways Program is looking to connect with local professionals and organizations interested in helping students explore careers, learn from industry professionals, and connect their classroom experiences to the world of work. There are several ways to get involved, including participating in a Day in the Life interview, serving as a guest speaker or field trip host, or supporting students through a capstone mentorship or internship partnership.
