It's about preparing for your future.
Tech Prep is a national program that recognizes the value of technical education. The program links technical education at the secondary level to the post-secondary level. Tech Prep students are enrolled in established programs of study called pathways. The program takes place in a student's junior and senior year of high school (2) and (+) two years at the community college (2). High schools and colleges in the Tech Prep program align their curriculum so students do not have to repeat course work.
