Secretary Cardona to Join U.S. Reps. Trahan and Auchincloss in Massachusetts to Highlight How Schools are Helping Students Recover, Access High-Quality Workforce Preparation Programs

On Friday, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona will travel to Massachusetts with U.S. Reps. Lori Trahan and Jake Auchincloss to visit schools in Milford and Lowell. On these tours, Secretary Cardona will speak with students and school leaders about how American Rescue Plan funds are being used to support academic recovery, provide mental health supports for students, and connect students to high-quality workforce opportunities.

Secretary Cardona will visit Milford High School with Rep. Jake Auchincloss where they will stop by several classrooms to learn about the school’s biomedical science pathway program. They will also speak with students about the importance of mental health supports in schools, especially following disruptions to in-person learning, and how the American Rescue Plan is providing greater access to these resources.

Afterwards, Secretary Cardona will tour Lowell High School with Rep. Lori Trahan. During the visit they will learn how the school is utilizing pandemic relief funds to expand their Early College Lowell and Lowell High School Pathway programs, which provide opportunities for students to take post-secondary education and career courses. They will speak with students and school leaders about how these programs and additional school supports have helped students recover from the pandemic while increasing academic achievement. Lowell Mayor Sokhary Chau will also join the conversation with students and school leaders.

Both stops will include a press gaggle. Please RSVP to secure your spot.
