We are committed to preparing the workforce of tomorrow by expanding internship and career opportunities. Recently, our interim Superintendent Jason DeFalco, Principal Stephen Sierpina and Career Specialist Jacqueline Coyle shared insights from a student survey regarding future aspirations at a Marlborough Economic Development Corporation meeting. Their goal? To bridge the gap between education and industry, ensuring our students are ready for what lies ahead.

The survey findings were insightful. Students at MHS expressed interest in a variety of careers, from marketing to healthcare to information technology. We're dedicated to equipping them with the skills they need to thrive in these fields.

A heartfelt thank you to the MEDC and our thriving business community for supporting our students’ aspirations. Together, we can strengthen our educational framework and ensure that those who #ChooseMHS are not only prepared for college but also on the path to meaningful and successful careers!

At Marlborough High School, students gain exposure to real-world environments and industry practices that inspire them and help guide their future decisions. A recent tour of Boston Scientific, attended by over 40 MHS students, exemplified this approach. View a recap of the tour here.

The visit showcased cutting-edge medical technology and highlighted the crucial role organizations play in shaping the next generation of innovators. Students participated in an engaging panel discussion that explored various career paths and hands-on demonstrations of medical devices, providing them with a unique opportunity to envision their potential career trajectories.
