Throughout a student's four years, the portfolios are updated. When a student graduates, the portfolio is an invaluable help for college admissions and employment opportunities. Technology is a big part of Blackstone Valley Tech. Students and faculty have access to powerful computers and software to aid in both their academic and vocational studies. Through the new school wide computer network, students and faculty can access the Internet for research, communicate better through e-mail and web pages, and create electronic portfolios to showcase their achievements.
Students have no problem locating a free computer to help out on their assignments.
The World Wide Web, an online abundance of information, will help students with research projects. The Blackstone Valley Tech Library Media Center offers a wide variety of resources for both staff and student body. Electronic field trips are offered several times each year. Upton Cable Television, the local access channel, is housed in the library media center annex. Students may tape and edit programs from the area.
