Students attend HTEC for two main reasons–They have a passion in one of our seven CareerConnect (Career and Technical Education) Pathways of Business, Graphic Design, Computer Science, Engineering, Robotics, Audio Technology, and Environmental Sustainability/Green Careers which they study for four years AND they see college as a non-negotiable for their future and want to earn as much college credit as possible while working to obtain their high school diploma.
