Name: Juliana Arevalo
Hometown: Chelsea
CTE Shop: Business Technology
Favorite class: Business Technology is my favorite class because I’ve benefitted from numerous opportunities that most students like me don’t get to experience, including traveling for DECA, collaborating more with my community, and meeting people with professional careers. Living in Chelsea, I never imagined to experience all these moments that I will always cherish. This is a space where I feel supported, accomplished, and incredibly fortunate to be.
One skill/lesson you’ve learned at Northeast that you’ll take with you: I’ve learned to better advocate for myself and others here at Northeast Metro Tech. I began my freshman year as a quiet and shy student and throughout my time here, I grew to become more proactive and aware of how necessary self-advocating is. I will continue to utilize this skill throughout my personal life and career to not only represent myself, but my community as well.
A person who has inspired you to be your best: My mom, who as a Northeast Metro Tech alumni, demonstrated how attending this school and making an effort in your work is a path towards success. She is a strong-willed role model and leader for our family and our community, who showed me how working hard can lead you to achieve.
Favorite quote: My favorite quote is “You do not yield,” - Kingdom of Ash, Sarah J. Mass because it indicates not giving up when you face obstacles and to continue to persevere through it.
Plans after graduation: I intend to attend a four year college, majoring in political science to follow a pre-law path. My aspiration is to become a prosecutor, then later transitioning into politics. I would like to use my voice to advocate for students like me to be able to have the same experience I have had at Northeast.

Publication Opt-Out
FERPA allows NEMT to release certain information about students with parent/guardian consent provided that annual notification has been given and the school does not have on file written denial to release this directory information. Directory information is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released. The primary purpose of directory information is to allow NEMT to include information from students’ education records in certain school publications. Examples include:
- A playbill, showing a student’s role in a drama production;
- The annual yearbook;
- Honor Roll or other recognition lists;
- Graduation programs; and
- Sports activity sheets, such as for football, showing weight and height of team members.
Complete the form below only if you would like to opt your student out of publications. Please know that this will impact your student's inclusion (name and photo) in school publications such as the yearbook.
Military Directory Opt-Out
Federal law requires local education agencies (LEAs) receiving assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), to provide military recruiters, upon request, with the following information – names, addresses and telephone listings – unless parents/guardians have advised the LEA that they do not want their student’s information disclosed without their prior written consent. NEMT identifies the following as directory information:
- a student’s name;
- address;
- telephone listing;
- date and place of birth;
- major field of study;
- dates of attendance;
- class;
- degrees;
- honors and awards; and
- post-high school plans.

Students are expected to engage in learning opportunities in each class/shop throughout the school day. Cell phones and smartwatches distract students from participating in lessons, completing assignments, contributing to class discussions, and collaborating with teachers and classmates. Unsanctioned cell phone/smartwatch use during instructional time is prohibited. All learning spaces, including classrooms and shop areas, are equipped with cell phone holders, where students must place their silenced devices upon arrival. Violations, including unauthorized photographing or video recording, may result in disciplinary action. Students are permitted to use their devices during lunch.
Emergency calls by students should be made in an administrative office, and families should contact Office A at (781) 246-0810 ext. 1644 for individual student needs. Headphones/earbuds may be used for educational purposes only; otherwise, students should remove them. Bluetooth speakers are not allowed in the building.
