Seniors at Windham Tech made their formal Senior Portfolio presentations to staff, students, and special Central Office guests, such as our Superintendent, Dr. Lowe. They showcased their four years here at WT and took us on their Vision of a Graduate journey. The students did an amazing job, and the sophomores and juniors who also were in attendance got a sneak peek into what their Senior Portfolio experience will entail.

Windham Teacher Named Connecticut Technical High Schools’ Teacher of the Year
May 6, 2024; Hartford, CT – Dr. Rachel Riendeau, a General Education Department Head and Social Studies teacher at Windham Technical High School, located in Willimantic, CT, has been named the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System (CTECS) Teacher of the Year Interim Superintendent Dr. Justin Lowe announced today.
“Rachel’s unwavering dedication and profound grasp of the connection between academics and Career and Technical Education truly sets her apart,” said Dr. Justin Lowe. “Rachel exemplifies excellence in teaching and serves as an inspiration for her CTECS colleagues and students alike. I am honored to recognize her as the 2024 CTECS Teacher of the Year.”
Riendeau has worked for CTECS since August 2007 as a social studies instructor, teaching a variety of courses from Economics and Sociology to Law and World History. She was instrumental in the development and implementation Senior Portfolio curricula. In 2018, she joined the staff at Windham Technical High School where she was named General Education Department head.
Riendeau regularly seeks out new opportunities for students including field experiences at museums throughout the state and involvement in local, state, and national scholarship opportunities, including annual participation in National History Day.
Riendeau is also the founder and creator of CTECS’ first student-centered virtual reality lab; the structure of which will be a pilot for the state’s technical high schools.
“This lab can now be used for students to assemble a virtual engine in automotive, take apart a virtual solar panel system in electrical, float around the space station in science, visit battle sites in a history class, or view a live performance of a play for English,” Riendeau said. “English and English Language Development students can use the VR tool to practice language and public speaking skills, while world language students can be immersed in another language for practice.

From Mr. LaPointe:
Thank you all for your help in making the Krispy Kreme fundraiser such a huge success! Everyone had a role, whether it was purchasing a dozen to help a sophomore with their dues, allowing students into your room to deliver their donuts, or having your students miss a bit of time to pick up their orders. Your flexibility is extraordinarily appreciated, and I apologize for any disruption this may have caused to you or your classes.
Special thanks to the Maintenance team and Security team for all of their help with logistics and storage of the donuts during the day. See the attached image for what 3,000 donuts (250 boxes) looks like. Again, thank you all for making this fundraiser a success! $750 was raised and divided between 22 different students for their dues.
