TILTON — Winnisquam Regional School District dedicated its newly renovated and expanded Winnisquam Career Center, known as The WiCC, on Oct. 2.

The celebratory event brought together students, families, educators, area superintendents, school board members, local business partners, and community stakeholders who were instrumental in the center’s modernization.

The extensive renovation project has modernized classroom, lab, and shop spaces, transforming The WiCC into a trailblazing technical center. The facility now offers five new and expanded career programs designed to prepare students for college, career, and life success through rigorous academics integrated with technical and employability skills.

Today, that dream is a reality. The Winnisquam Career Center has state of the art classrooms, cutting edge equipment, and outstanding educators. Designed to foster creativity and innovation, and to inspire students in the exploration of future career pathways, this building is a testament to what we can achieve we work together with a common purpose.”
