At Henry Abbottt Technical High School, we believe that reading is the key to increasing literacy skills, developing vocabulary, and succeeding as a life-long learner.

Our goal for summer reading is for students to have an enjoyable experience where they are encouraged to read for pleasure - not solely for academic credit. The Accelerated Reading Program is part of the school's curriculum for all students and will continue to be utilized over the summer.
