Admission Procedures and Requirements for High School Students
- The student will be introduced to Tech Center programs through a presentation done by the Tech Center Outreach Coordinator, Tech Center Guidance Coordinator, or by an individual meeting with the high school guidance counselor, case manager, Tech Center Outreach Coordinator or Tech Center Guidance Coordinator.
- The student will have the opportunity to tour the Tech Center at any time or after viewing the Tech Center presentation. The student, student's parents, guidance counselor, or case manager may arrange visits by contacting the Tech Center guidance coordinator, or the student may sign-up for a scheduled tour day. These tour days will be announced during the presentation done by the Tech Center Outreach Coordinator or Tech Center Guidance Coordinator.
- The Tech Center Program of Studies will be available at the Tech Center presentation, in the Tech Center guidance coordinator's office, or in the home high school guidance office. All programs have prerequisites that must be followed (these prerequisites can be found on this web site and in the program of study).
- The application must be completed and signed by the student and the parent/guardian, and submitted to the Tech Center Guidance Counselor by or before the application deadline. Applications submitted following that date would be accepted on a space available basis. Please note that the application requires the applicant to answer three questions relevant to his/her program choice. Applications received without responses to these questions will not be considered.
- The Tech Center Admissions Committee, made up of the guidance coordinator and the Tech Center director, will receive all applications.
Admission to a program will be based on successful completion of the application procedures outlined in steps 1-5 above, academic performance history, attendance history, and discipline records. All students must complete the admissions procedure, including students admitted during the school year or transfer students.
Students and guidance counselors will be notified as soon as possible regarding each student's official admission to the Tech Center. Students who do not meet admission requirements will be sent a letter outlining available options. All accepted students will be placed on a probationary status for ten Tech Center school days, beginning with the first day of attendance. This phase will be used for curriculum- based assessment and to determine the appropriateness of placement. Students will automatically be granted full standing after the probationary period unless notified of continued probationary status or withdrawal.
