William M. Davies, Jr. Career and Technical High School

At Davies Career and Technical High School in Lincoln, Rhode Island, we're a lot like your local high school. Our students take four years of math and English; three years of science and social studies, and our classes are fully accredited. Students can play sports like basketball, softball, soccer, and baseball. They can run cross-country, attend after-school clubs and learn to build guitars, perform forensics investigations, or work with RISD artists. And when it comes time to attend college or decide on that next step after Davies, they can turn to their guidance counselors for support and a plan. Okay. We're like a high school plus. At Davies, our commitment goes beyond the typical high school classroom: we prepare students with a technical skill set and training they can carry to future careers. Over 90% of graduates leave Davies with industry certification, with students choosing from across nine different career areas: Automotive Careers, Electrical, Machine Technology, Pre-Engineering, Biomanufacturing Technology, Early Education and Childcare, Health Careers, Hospitality Careers, and Graphics & Interactive Media. By providing hands-on training and career preparation, we not only help our students discover new passions, we help ensure each Davies graduate has the academic background and technical skills needed for future success.
