With more than 30 pathways designed to help students enter the work force and/or prepare them for their future education at college, the ATC is not your average “high school.” Instructors who are certified working professionals in their industry or career field are dedicated to providing students with a hands-on experience that will lead them to nationally recognized certifications or professional licenses. ATC students regularly test their creativity in unique settings through culinary arts, engineering, architecture, audio/video technology and many other technological fields. And their work goes beyond the classroom as well, with many of the school’s programs earning state and national honors each year. The school provides similar opportunities for younger students too, offering summer camps focused on robotics and technological career paths.
