Clinic

The A-Tech  considers the health and safety of students to be of prime concern. Our clinic is supervised by a full-time registered nurse from 7:56 a.m. to 2:26 p.m. every school day.

 

 

Special Needs

The A-Tech is fully staffed to provide educational support for those students whose education programs fall under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act. Our staffing includes a vocational special education coordinator who acts as liaison between our school, the student’s family and the home high school. 

Students who may become A-Tech students have the benefit of Career and Technical Assessment prior to applying. A trainer examiner will test students for aptitude, career interests and academic skills. The results serve as a guide to students and families as they choose a career path.
