Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational High School, also known as Northeast Metro Tech or The Voke, is a regional vocational school located in Wakefield, Massachusetts, United States. It was founded in 1968 and draws students from the cities and towns of Chelsea, Revere, Winthrop, Malden, Melrose, North Reading, Reading, Stoneham, Wakefield, Winchester, Woburn and Saugus.
Northeast Metro Tech currently operates sixteen vocational “shops”. These are Automotive Collision Repair and Refinishing, Automotive Technology, Business Technology, Carpentry, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Dental Assisting, Design and Visual Communications, Drafting and Design, Early Childhood Education, Electrical, Health Assisting, HVAC and Refrigeration, Metal Fabrication, Plumbing and Pipefitting and Robotics and Automation.
The number of students each city or town sends is dependent on its population and the amount of money it contributes to the budget of the school. The City of Malden is the largest contributor of students, Chelsea is the second largest contributor, and Woburn is the third. Also, students from Everett, Lynn, Lynnfield and Medford, which border the Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational School District, may attend the school if they apply and are approved. Students from Saugus May also attend.
Students in their senior year can decide whether they want to try out a Co-op program. This program changed from being one week of vocation to one week in the workforce.
The football team won back-to-back Division 4A State Championships in 2009 and 2010. The basketball team was division 1 national champs for 2010-2014
