On Wednesday, September 9, a Career Pathways leadership team from Old Saybrook High School - Associate Principal David Plotkin, STEM Pathways Coordinator Karen Dionne, and Tech Ed teacher Cliff Taylor - joined Board of Education members Marijke Kehrhahn and Jane Wisialowski for a shop floor tour of Sound Manufacturing/Monster Equipment, an advanced manufacturing firm located in Old Saybrook. Dr. Kelli Vallieres, Owner and Chair of Sound's Board of Directors, shared the history of Old Saybrook High School's partnership with Sound, introduced a number of Sound employees who demonstrated their work, and offered many ideas for collaboration. Dr. Vallieres told the visitors that Sound has always been a family-owned shop, located in Old Saybrook for the last 20 years, that offers family-friendly resources and work schedules. Our heads were full of great ideas by the time we left - we look forward to building a productive partnership!

Former United States Secretary of Education Dr. Miguel Cardona joined Old Saybrook Public Schools for Convocation and spent time with our Pathways Coordinators as the district moves from planning into implementation. His message about hands-on learning, student exploration and teacher ownership closely connects to the work underway across Goodwin, OSMS and OSHS.

On January 27, 2026, the Old Saybrook Board of Education approved a new set of course offerings at OSHS — a major milestone and the first major step toward launching two exciting new pathways:

  • RAMS School of Business

  • RAMS School of Medical Science

These new opportunities will give students more ways to explore real interests, build career-ready skills, and connect learning to the real world — all while strengthening the Pathways vision outlined in our district’s Strategic Plan.
