Junior and senior students have the opportunity to attend South Tech High School for half a day to gain hands on experience in their chosen major. Students continue to take their core classes at Affton High School and attend South Tech for their elective classes. South Tech is a great opportunity for students who enjoy hands on learning, want to get involved in their chosen career now, and want to begin earning certifications and career skills while still in high school.

Students are encouraged to apply to South Tech early during their sophomore year. Many programs are competitive. Admission to South Tech is based on completion of required credits, attendance, and discipline.
