Welcome to Davies Career and Technical High School!

As Rhode Island’s flagship, state-owned and -operated career and technical high school, we are proud to provide our students with an exceptional academic and technical education in a safe environment, enriched by robust support, and rooted in respect for all. 

Davies is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), and is supported by a faculty and staff committed to student success, by long-standing business and industry partnerships, and by a Board of Trustees composed of leaders from business, industry, and post-secondary institutions throughout the state. 

A Davies education is defined by a fully integrated academic and technical program of studies. Our faculty and staff prepare students to be critical thinkers and decision makers, and to develop the mindset of inquiry needed for success in college. Additionally, Davies’ students gain the workforce experience and industry certifications necessary for securing immediate employment in high-skill and high-growth industries after graduation. A Davies education prepares students for college and career, and to make a positive impact in their community.

Our partnerships with families, business and industry, and various state agencies are integral to our success. I encourage you to be involved, whether through our Parent-Educator Relations Committee or by partnering with us to place students in valuable, work-based learning experiences. Your support, engagement, and feedback are essential to our continued improvement. 

The greatest strength of our school is our students- so, to our students, I ask that you make the most of your high school experience at Davies, and I encourage you to capitalize on the amazing opportunities that are both before you and ahead of you! 

I look forward to working with you all, as we endeavor to provide our students with a fantastic education and a wonderful high school experience!

Best regards,
