South Shore Regional Vocational Technical is a public school district serving students in the South Shore region of Massachusetts, south of Boston. Its single high school, South Shore Vocational Technical High, offers career and technical education programs that combine academic coursework with hands-on training in technical fields. As a regional vocational district, it draws students from multiple member communities rather than a single town, and it serves as an option for students seeking applied, career-focused preparation alongside a traditional high school diploma.

Spending is total per-pupil expenditure from all sources. Dollar figures aren't adjusted for inflation. "MA median" is the middle district in each year; small districts can spend far more per student, so the median is a fairer yardstick than the average. Salary is the average across 64 full-time-equivalent teachers.
