PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Technology Education program provides students with equal opportunity to explore many career and vocational interests within the cluster areas of communications, manufacturing, construction, and, transportation.  The program enhances the basic skills learned by enabling students to apply them in conjunction with a "hands on" approach to learning about industrial technology.  Students will become more technically literate while gaining a better understanding of the applications and impact technology has on industry, business, and our standard of living.
