Diman Expanding Nursing Program

Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School is expanding its nursing program, as an increase of enrollment for the classes and for the high school's vocational grows past the limit of the building's size. 

 

According to the digital edition of the Fall River Herald, beginning this fall, students enrolled in Diman’s nursing program will move and take their classes in Fall River’s Commonwealth Landing. Currently, Diman’s nursing program includes roughly 50 full time students and 15 part time. With the choice of a relocation, the program will expand to about 75 full time students and 25 part time.

 

In the current Diman high school building there are 1,400 students enrolled for a building only intended to house 1,000. Diman’s superintendent told the Fall River Herald, “Looking at applications that were coming in and folks who wanted to go into this trade… we quickly found out that we couldn’t meet the need in our current space.” The school has considered expansion to the current building but is now looking to construct an entirely new building.
