What is Tech Prep?

Tech Prep is a sequence of courses that begins in high school and continues in college. It was designed to provide technical preparation in a career field, lead to an associate degree or a certificate in a specific career field, and finally to high-skill, high-wage employment or further education.

It is recommended that students complete a sequence of courses in one career field, rather than several courses from non-related fields. Students should complete the Recommended or Advanced Graduation Plan.

Students who complete Tech Prep courses are eligible for Distinguished Achievement, as they are taking college-level courses for credit while still in high school.

Students who complete a two-year sequence of Tech Prep courses and have a 90 or above average for those courses are eligible for nomination for the TASSEL award upon graduation.
