NORTH PROVIDENCE – Twelve North Providence High School seniors have made history as the first cohort to earn their CNA licenses through the school’s P-TECH health care program.
The P-TECH (Pathway-Technology Early College High) program was established at NPHS in 2017. It is an accredited career and technical education program focused on health care, placing students on a pathway that enables them to graduate with a high school diploma, a free associate degree from the Community College of Rhode Island, and relevant workplace experience.
