Chelmsford Residents Named Freshman Mentors At Nashoba Tech

CHELMSFORD, MA — Nashoba Valley Technical High School has chosen 28 upperclassmen, including five from Chelmsford, to be mentors for incoming freshmen.

The idea is that the older students will be available to freshmen for the school year, something they say is even more important amid the pandemic.

Staff chose the students for leadership qualities, according to the school.

Students at Nashoba Tech are attending their technical classes in person, while academic classes are being conducted online.

On alternating weeks, freshmen are going through the exploratory process, attending a different technical program until it’s time for them to choose a program they want to pursue for their high-school career.

Chelmsford students serving as mentors:

• John Fraser, senior, Plumbing & Heating;
• Randy LeBlanc, junior, Hospitality;
• Gina Mills, junior, Design & Visual Communications;
• Andrew Watman, junior, Programming & Web Development; and
• Michael Whiting, junior, Advanced Manufacturing.
