Uxbridge H.S. recipient of Skills Grant

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Baldassarre is proud to announce that Uxbridge High School and its Innovation Pathways have been named a recipient of a Skills Capital Grant in the amount of $75,000. These funds will be used to support the integration of technology and equipment, which will allow students to continue working on industry-recognized credentials in a variety of fields.

“Uxbridge High School has been visited by more than 50 districts from all over the Commonwealth because of the work that our Principal, Mike Rubin is doing.” said Dr. Baldassarre. “It is not just the tools and equipment that our students have to learn to work with - rather it is the expert teachers and innovative leaders at UHS that makes the UHS program so appealing.”

Since 2015, 538 grants totaling $204 million have been awarded through the Skills Capital Grant program. Uxbridge High School has been awarded five separate Skills Capital Grants.

The grants are awarded to educational institutions that demonstrate partnerships with local businesses, as well as align curriculum and credentials with industry demand to maximize hiring opportunities in each region of the state.
