This page was created to highlight the Sumner Memorial High School students who spend half of their day at HCTC, working in their trade program and the other half of their day at Sumner taking required high school classes.
HCTC is split up into two sessions, a morning session and an afternoon session. The morning session is primarily sophomores/juniors (first years), these students go to HCTC in the morning and then back to high school in the afternoon. The afternoon session is primarily for juniors/seniors (second years), these students stay at the highschool in the morning and go to HCTC in the afternoon.
You can find the HCTC website here!
HCTC offers a total of 12 programs which are as follows:
Automotive Technology, Biomedical Sciences, Business Leadership and Hospitality, Carpentry, Culinary, Cybersecurity, Diesel Technology, Early Childhood Education, Health Occupations, Law Enforcement, Multimedia Design, and Welding.
