Do you enjoy Tech Ed?
Do you know that Tech Ed helps you prepare for many careers?
Do you know what your high school Tech Ed options are? 

There is little doubt that technology has invaded almost every aspect of our lives.  The technology education curriculum is an action based program for all students, both college bound and those ready for the world of work.  Students learn how to develop, produce, use and assess the impacts of products and services that extend the human potential to improve and control the natural and human-made environment. Courses focus on technological knowledge and competence and are designed to help students understand and to participate in the technological society of today and tomorrow. 

Students have many course choices as they plan their high school career. The faculty of the Technology Education Department works to attract students to the program who will benefit most from the curriculum. 

• Advantages to taking PLTW and technology education courses include:

•  PLTW POE may be used as a substitute for a third unit of science credit.
