What is Tech-Prep?

Tech Prep is a bridge between high school and a high-tech college education!

The backbone for job success in the 21st century is technology. By taking college-level courses while on the high school campus, students get a headstart on career skills and college hours.

Starting in the 9th grade with Tech-Prep classes and continuing their education at the community/technical college, students can obtain at least an associate of science degree in record time.

Tech-Prep classes benefit the student, education systems -- high schools and community/technical colleges -- and the work force.

Student/Parent Benefits:

• Tech-Prep students take advanced-level classes that count as college hours.
  
  
• Tuition and books are NOT charged for these college hours.
  
  
• At college, students do NOT duplicate classes successfully completed in high school.
  
  
• Students have a headstart on college hours for an associate of science degree.
