Welcome to Merrimac State High School. Band 3b. Band 4. A teacher specializing in vocational education and life skills is assigned to this program.

In addition to the regular education program, career interests, getting a job and succeeding in a job, and preparing for independent living are part of the curriculum. Students learn how to use technology in the workplace and for research. Upon completion of the program, a student has a portfolio displaying their knowledge, skills and abilities.

This teacher also serves as a transition teacher, integrating the student back into the home school, college, or workplace. Some students may work or volunteer in the community and participate in job shadowing. Each juvenile receives a physical and mental health screening at admission. Colonial Behavioral Health provides emergency mental health assessments.

Ongoing therapy and case management is also provided onsite by their mental health clinician. The mental health clinician assesses residents who have potential mental health or substance abuse issues, admissions who have been identified in the community as needing mental health services, and residents referred by staff who have observed troublesome behavior.

The clinician provides individual and group counseling and education, refers residents and families for service in the community, informs the court of juvenile mental health needs, and works with the courts, family and mental health system to obtain emergency hospitalization if needed.

Case management services assist with the transition back to the community or other placement when alternative services are an on-going need. The mission of the Merrimac Center Education Department is to provide a positive academic experience by offering an environment which facilitates individual learning, confidence, character building, and the ability to work with others in order to prepare students for their next educational setting.
