What is P-Tech?

P-Tech, Pathways in Technology, is a public education reform model focused on college attainment and career readiness for grades 9-14. Students participate in a range of workplace experiences, including mentorship, worksite visits, and paid internships.

After completing the P-Tech program, students receive their high school diploma and a free two-year postsecondary degree in a STEM field.

Our Focus

Cybersecurity AAS: Students harness the principles of business security to break into the fields of information systems, information assurance, cyber-security, and digital forensics.

Mechanical Technology AAS: Students, aided by fully equipped mechanical and computerized laboratories, combine both the theoretical and practical aspects of a design as well as the manufacturing of the product.

Electrical Technology AAS: Students take a multi-disciplinary approach to power utilities, electronics in health care, computers, automotive control, robotics, and allied fields through theoretical and hands-on exercises.

Our Goal

Upon graduation, students have the academic and professional skills required to either continue their education in a four-year postsecondary institution or enter into entry-level careers in competitive fields.
