Both programs have an advisory board of industry members that meet twice a year to provide direction for the program, ensuring that students receive the education needed to prepare for their entry into the workforce.
The tech programs are merged with the HS and follow their academic calendar (August – May). Students are expected to attend every class. Attendance policies are enforced and students may be administratively withdrawn for lack of attendance.
Students apply on-line and receive advising and financial aid assistance at our Newton Center, 203 E. Broadway.
