Essex Technical High School (ETHS) is Massachusetts’ newest regional technical and
agricultural high school, serving seventeen (17) member communities on the North Shore
and over thirty-five (35) other communities statewide. Our mission is to provide students
with both an academic and technical education that expands their opportunities after high
school.

Twenty-four (24) career technical programs are available to students from member
communities; students from other communities select from among eight agricultural and
natural resource programs.

Enrollment at ETHS is 1,300 for the 2016-2017 school year. Moreover, over 1,000
th
students applied for 360 openings in our current 9 grade. Our new facility, which
opened in September 2014, was designed for over 1,400 students (which we will reach in
2017-2018), and is organized into four (4) separate academies, which include programs
that share similar career and programmatic objectives.
