About Peabody Veterans Memorial High School
Peabody Veterans Memorial High School runs six state-approved Career and Technical Education programs inside a traditional high school: Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Culinary and Baking Arts, Medical Assisting, Electronic Engineering and Early Childhood Education, plus an Innovation Pathway in Business and Finance. Rising ninth graders who live in Peabody apply by lottery, rotate through every program in the Exploratory semester, and then spend three years in a concentration working toward industry certifications, including OSHA 10. Articulation agreements with local colleges let CTE students start on a college pathway while still in high school.
Our Student Health Center inside the building offers sports physicals, immunizations, lab work, behavioral health counseling, nutrition counseling and substance use support at no cost to students. The guidance department hosts a fall college fair in our field house, and students can join Air Force JROTC, student council and community service, and test for the Seal of Biliteracy.
Students with disabilities are supported by grade-level IEP chairpersons, and the district runs specialized high school programs, including TLC and Milestones, for students who need them. English learner and credit recovery options are also available.
