Students of the Month are selected based on the school’s “Portrait of a Graduate” attributes: resourceful, responsible, resilient, respectful and ready.

She was part of the team that won first place at the 2025 ProStart Invitational then placed 14th at the national competition, then repeated as champs at the 2026 ProStart event, where Jillian won the Best Leadership Award.

Jillian was nominated by Social Studies teacher Phil Massa, who wrote: “Jill is a physical example of Student of the Month for her exceptional maturity, responsibility and positive contributions to our school community. She consistently follows through on commitments, participates confidently in class, and maintains a respectful and courteous attitude toward everyone. Her outgoing personality, genuine interest in connecting with others, and pleasant demeanor make her a role model and a joy to work with.”

Evan was nominated by Early Childhood Care instructor Christine Patenaude, who wrote: “Evan has grown so much over the last two-and-a-half years, from a quiet shy student to a student that could and has taken over a classroom of little children and a classroom of her peers. As she has grown into the amazing student she is, she has demonstrated the 5 R’s, not only within her technical area but also with her academics and extracurricular activities.”
Athletes of the Month
Braeden Beauregard of Chelmsford and Christian Montalvo of Ayer, both senior wrestlers, have been selected as February’s Athletes of the Month.

Braeden was nominated by Bob Musto, the school resource officer, who wrote: “Braeden’s hard work and preparation for this wrestling season epitomized the five R’s in Nashoba Tech’s Portrait of a Graduate – resourceful, responsible, resilient, respectful and ready. It paid off as he wrestled his way to an undefeated senior year in the heavyweight division.”
Christian Montalvo, son of Kevin and Jacqueline Kabiru, is captain of the wrestling team and had a stellar season in the 190-pound division, finishing fourth at All-States. He also plays football and lacrosse for the Vikings.
