The 2025 timeline to apply for Chapter 74 career technical education (CTE) programs for Worcester Technical High School, Doherty Memorial High School, North High School, and South High Community School, is as follows:

• January 6, 2025-February 14, 2025: Applications Accepted

• February 14, 2025: Application Period Closes

• Wednesday, March 12, 2025: Lottery Held

• Lottery results are shared with families immediately after drawing and will be posed on the schools' websites by Friday, March 14, 2025.

• If an incoming ninth-grade student is interested in participating in a Chapter 74 CTE program at Doherty, North, or South high schools, they apply directly for the CTE program they desire. (This is different from the Worcester Technical High School process, in which a student applies for admission to the school, and then chooses a program after beginning the ninth grade.)

• Students are selected through a tiered lottery admissions process.

• If the student is accepted into the CTE program, they are also accepted into the school hosting that program.

These lists may be updated periodically as additional slots become available.
