To gain credit, students enrolled in the Engineering Design (Grade 9), Principles of Engineering (Grade 10) and the Digital Electronics (Grade 11) courses needed to maintain a "B" course average, as well as achieve a qualifying score on a national engineering final examination.
The students being recognized for this achievement are: Grade 9 -- Haley Carson, Andrew Corsi, Elizabeth Culpepper, Kevin Dowling, Max Filion, Zachary Fletcher, Katelyn Furlon, Laura Heritage, Natalie Howe, Kyle Knox, Zoe Loughman, Joshua McAdoo, Laura Netti, and Sophia Oliveri; Grade 10 -- Brian Dougherty, Claire Gagliardi, Ethan Himes, Christopher Matthew, and Cody O’Dowd, and Grade 11 -- Toby Alves and Tyler O’Neil.
McCann’s pre-engineering program was certified through the Project Lead The Way Pre-Engineering and Engineering Technology Program by a visiting team from the engineering department of Worcester Poly technic Institute.
Students who demonstrate exemplary work in their pre-engineering courses and pass the national examination may apply for transcripted college credit at a variety of national affiliate colleges and universities.
