OPEN HOUSE
Each year the Career Tech Center opens its doors to the public for an Open House. Tours are provided to visit all of the Career Tech Programs and visitors can see the students in action as they work on their skills for the future.
"Career and technology education" can give your child what’s needed to succeed for life: technical skills, academic skills and employability skills. In addition, career and technical education helps students see how what they’re learning applies to the needs of employers.
Regardless of whether students are headed for college or the workforce, this type of education will help them prepare for the future. In fact, college-bound students can get job experiences to help them define their career plans, identify an appropriate course of study and help pay for tuition."
