Westerly, Rhode Island
Westerly High School’s 1,200-hour cosmetology pathway covers hair care, nail technologies and skin care. Students combine theory and technical training with practical experience serving clients in the classroom salon.
The high-school course sequence includes Intro to Cosmetology, followed by Cosmetology 1, 2 and 3.
The pathway provides cosmetology training and preparation for credentialing. Progress depends on completing the required coursework and accumulating the required training hours. Students must also take part in the program’s credentialing process.
A professional license is not automatic from attending classes: the required hours and applicable licensing and assessment steps still apply.

Eligibility: Westerly CTE students who pay credentialing assessment costs and successfully complete the credential or certification.
Submit the payment receipt and proof of successful completion to the Westerly School District for reimbursement of credentialing assessment costs. Reimbursement follows successful completion; it is not an upfront waiver.
The CTE pathway accepts applications from Rhode Island high-school students, with first preference for students living in Westerly. Admission depends on a review of school records and available places.
Start cosmetology early enough to earn the required hours. Students beginning in 11th or 12th grade will not accrue enough licensing hours at WHS and receive a transcript for transfer to postsecondary beauty school. Students transferring with previous cosmetology training are reviewed individually.
Out-of-district applicants need approval from their home district’s superintendent.
Applications are reviewed using school records. A lottery is used if qualified applicants exceed the places available.
