Welcome!

to the Dr. James A Forrest Career and Technology Center.

We teach students exactly what they need in order to be successful in the real world. The tools and technology we use at the Tech Center are exactly the tools and technology students will be using on the job, when they graduate. And the skills we teach at the Tech Center are exactly the skills students will be using on the job, when they graduate.

The education we provide is immediately relevant and useful. And by the end of a student's time at the Tech Center, our goal is to have every student earn at least one Industry Recognized Certification (IRC.) IRCs are certifications, licenses, or other credentials that align with in-demand occupations and are recognized by industry and employers. In other words, most students leave our programs with an actual license or certificate, relevant to their career path. One or more IRCs will help a student get hired, help them do a better job, and potentially help them get paid more.

In addition to specific skill acquisition, at the Tech Center, we especially emphasize a strong work ethic, respect for everyone, and GRIT; the exact values that will lead to success in the workplace and in life.
