Through our program students will acquire the necessary technological skills to be successful in 21st Century careers.

Overview

The goal of the 6-12 Technology Education program is to foster the development of essential skills enabling students to understand how technologies are developed and used. 
The Technology Education program utilizes problem-based activities which allow students the opportunity to understand and evaluate technological solutions and their effects on the environment and society itself.

The purpose of the elective pathway is to give students who have a particular interest or future plans in Technology Education to select related courses that will give them the opportunity to explore topics in that particular field. Students DO NOT have to follow any of the elective pathways, and are welcome to take any elective where they meet the grade level and academic performance pre-requisites.
