Wicked Local Build it and they will come, is a phrase commonly used when something is built to attract more people. This is certainly true in the case of the new Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical High School, which opened the doors of its $145 million new school in September 2019. Due to the limited capacity of the new building, which was designed for 628 students, students from non-member towns including Belmont and Watertown are not guaranteed admission.
Two out of the seven Belmont students from the class of 2025 who completed the Minuteman application process were offered admission, and one has enrolled. The number of Belmont students who applied to the Minuteman before the new school opened and before the town became a non-member has decreased. There were 20 students in the class of 2023 who applied, and 19 were offered admission for the fall of 2019.
