Since 2006 Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School in Easton has seen improvements in the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) results. This year was no exception.

Work has begun on the $32 million expansion and renovation project at Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School in Easton, with students doing some of the work to hone their construction skills and save money on the project.

The Easton-based Southeastern Regional Building Committee originally applied for funding from the Massachusetts School Building Au­thority in 2007. Last December, the MSBA said it would reimburse 80 percent of the estimated cost. The school is responsible for the other 20 percent.

And none of them seem to mind.

It’s become a new generation’s Memorial Day. No one can forget that cloudless Tuesday morning in late summer when the world changed forever. Sept. 11, 2001, is seared in collective memory as other dates were for other generations: Dec. 7, 1941, and Nov. 22, 1963.

EASTON - A school renovation project nearly four years in the making is on the fast track to becoming reality for students and officials at Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School in Easton.

The school district is now just months away from beginning construction on a proposed $30 million school renovation and addition project that would bring the aging 45-year-old building up to code and put it at the forefront of 21st century learning.

 The Southeastern Regional School District plans to construct a $33 million addition to its high school with no increase in assessments to member communities, the school's business manager says.

Business Manager Mark Morris said the district anticipated an 80 percent state reimbursement for the fix-up and expansion of Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School.

He said the district's nine town and cities pay a combined $192,000 for capital projects as part of their annual assessments.

BOSTON, MA – State Treasurer Steven Grossman, Chairman of the Massachusetts School Building Authority (“MSBA”), and Katherine Craven, MSBA Executive Director, today announced that the MSBA Board voted to approve funding for the addition and renovation project at Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School. The next step in the process is for the district and the MSBA to enter into a Project Funding Agreement which will detail the project’s scope and budget and set forth the terms and conditions under which the district will receive its grant from the MSBA.

Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School in Easton is on the brink of a long-coveted facelift that would bring the aging, 45-year-old facility up to date and up to code.

Included in the $30 million renovation plan are a new gym, new roof, new windows, a modern water sprinkler system, six science labs, and other added spaces to alleviate overcrowding in the school built in 1965.

Army National Guard Sergeant Richard Pike had no idea why he had been called to the collision repair technology shop at Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School last week, and he feared the worst.

All he could think of, as the seconds ticked down to a surprise “reveal’’ for Pike last Thursday, was that his wife, Jean, must have crashed his trusty Dodge pickup truck while he was away on a service tour in Afghanistan. When he returned to their Bridgewater home in December, he said, the 13-year-old vehicle was missing, and she had been making excuses ever since.
