Newport, RI - May 7, 2026— The Newport Area Career and Technical Center at Rogers High School is proud to announce that 20 seniors officially committed to their future careers during our annual Career and Technical Education (CTE) Signing Day ceremony held at the school's Seaside Café.
Modeled after athletic signing days, this event honored students for choosing to enter the workforce, begin apprenticeships, join the military, or pursue advanced technical training immediately after graduation.
"This signing day is a celebration of our students' hard work, passion, and the future they're building with careers that offer financial stability and make a real impact in our communities," said Robert Young, Executive Director of Operations.
Our students signed letters of intent to join local industry leaders, including Audrain, Electric Boat, URI, Virginia Tech and CCRI and in high-demand fields including Automotive, Engineering, Advertising Design, Information Technology & Cybersecurity, Culinary Arts, Nursing, Cosmetology and Business.
