Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School aka Whittier Tech is located in the city of Haverhill, Massachusetts, and was founded in 1972.
It serves many surrounding cities and towns primarily in the northern section of Essex County, accepting students from Haverhill, Newburyport, Newbury, West Newbury, Rowley, Amesbury, Merrimac, Georgetown, Groveland, Ipswich, and Salisbury. The school was named in honor of local resident, Quaker poet, and slavery abolitionist John Greenleaf Whittier.

Courses are designed in a sequential format and are integrated with the vocational-technical areas, wherever practicable and mutually beneficial. All academic courses offer advanced sections for students who desire to further their education. Moreover, a Tech Prep program is offered to eleventh and twelfth grade students which parallels the College Prep program and provides students with the opportunity for college credit and/or advanced college placement.
"Whittier offers 19 vocational technical career areas designed to provide the necessary training and skills for personal and work force success." - Mario Fici, Superintendent.
Student activities: Whittier Tech has an extensive number of student activities. They include the student body produced newspaper Technically Speaking, Key Club, SADD, Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (SkillsUSA-VICA), Multicultural Club, Model United Nations, Performing Arts, FICI club, and Student government.
Another annual tradition Whittier Tech takes part in is the building and donation of a parade float for Haverhill, Massachusetts's annual Santa Claus Parade held every year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day. The floats regularly earn both awards and attention for excellence.
School athletics: Whittier Tech's athletic teams are nicknamed the "Wildcats". The school's colors are Maroon & Gold. They are a member of the Commonwealth Athletic Conference. Sports offered include football,cross country, cheerleading, track & field, volleyball, soccer, basketball, wrestling, baseball, and softball.
MCAS: Whittier's MCAS Enrichment Program has been developed to improve student performance on the MCAS. Whittier has assumed a proactive role in this endeavor. Our goal is to work with students to develop the skills necessary for successful MCAS results.
Whittier has a unified commitment to excellence in meeting the educational needs of individuals in the Whittier District, while being accountable to its member communities. This commitment is to enable students to be successful in their chosen technical pursuits and to become productive members of society.
