Make An Impact
Thank you to all East Hartford High School Allied Health pathway supporters, including key partners:
ReadyCT is supporting the East Hartford High School Allied Health Pathway (EHHS AH) — a STEM-focused community igniting students’ passion for learning!
Students enrolled in the pathway have the opportunity to graduate high school with one or more industry-recognized credentials, including:
Also, as part of the EHHS AH pathway, students receive year-round instruction in work readiness that helps them develop employability skills (e.g., time management, teamwork, work ethic, and communication skills). The curriculum also offers practical instruction in Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, financial literacy, and business writing.
The pathway experience will prepare students for work-based learning opportunities during high school, for career, for college, and for their long-term success!
EHHS students are stellar. Be sure to check back to hear from these students as the school year progresses.

Students from East Hartford High School (EHHS) were well represented in ReadyCT summer programming! Those programs offer students a range of experiences and aim to diversify as well as elevate the workforce and develop talent pipelines!
The summer programs were as follows:
Nashaly completed her first FRYA program in the summer of ’22.
“I never knew I wanted to become a police officer until I joined FRYA.”
Martin completed his first FRYA program in the summer of ’22.
“I love how dedicated the program staff and the firefighters and police officers were to us. That motivated me to come every day, on time, and enjoy everything throughout the summer.”
Jessicah completed her first FRYA program in the summer of ’22.
“This experience made me want to study to become a crime scene investigator or a forensic science technician.”
The PS pathway will have two concentrations, that include education and public safety.
The TEC pathway will have two concentrations, that include computer graphics and manufacturing.
Be sure to check back to hear from these students as the school year progresses.
We remain grateful to East Hartford Public Schools, and the Town of East Hartford for their partnership with this effort.
