CHELMSFORD, MA — Chelmsford High School announced Monday that Alexandra Cunningham has been named the Career and College Readiness Facilitator. Cunningham comes to Chelmsford after serving as the Young Adult Career Advisor at MassHire's Lowell office for two years, prior to which she worked as a Competency Coordinator and Therapeutic Trainer at the Justice Resource Institute. "With this position, I feel I can reach students sooner in their lives to identify where their interests lie in terms of pursuing a career and/or a college," said Cunningham in a statement. "I'm excited to create a comfortable, welcoming space less like a classroom and more of a learning space." At CHS, Cunningham will oversee the Career and College Readiness Center, focusing her efforts on developing the district's programs, including Innovation Pathways, Dual Enrollment opportunities, and student internships, and attracting business and industry partners to enhance those programs. Cunningham holds undergraduate degrees in both Criminal Justice and Psychology from the University of New Hampshire and a master's degree in Forensic Psychology from Southern New Hampshire University.
