Dighton-Rehoboth Receives Skills Capital Grant

The Dighton Rehoboth Regional School District has received a $316,000 Skills Capital Grant from the Healey-Driscoll administration for its Career and Technical Education programs (CTE) at the high school.

This grant will specifically be utilized to both bolster and create collaboration opportunities for DRRHS’ Advanced Manufacturing and Carpentry programs. 

“Not only will this grant allow us to provide cutting-edge technology that will empower our staff to ignite the creativity in our CTE students, but it will also help us shape our vision of offering classes to the community during off hours as we continue to extend our reach and show that We are DR,” Superintendent Bill Runey said on Wednesday.

DRRHS has seven CTE programs to offer its students in Engineering, Automotive Technology, Early Childhood Education & Care, TV Media Studies, Marketing, Carpentry, and Advanced Manufacturing.

“We are excited about the opportunities this grant gives our current students while also signaling how attractive our high school is for the students in our district,” Principal Jacqueline Ash added.
