We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Professional and Technical High school has truly improved me for the better. I am able to start a career early in the medical field with the learning and resources I got from here. I also learned to engage with others and go outside of my bubble to help others. I became a better person and have learned new skills that help me in everyday life. I would recommend this school to any and all students who want a career starlight out of high school.

A wonderful school. I took all 4 years here, and I became in tune with the school spirit. Didn’t regret going here. Once you find your niche, and you begin to adapt, the school becomes a breeze.

My experience at this school is not a good one. This school is strictly focused on academics and that is fine but they fail to make it a healthy environment and a fun one too. The administration is strict and the air is toxic.
