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 Highschool has helped me become more college ready than other students may get the opportunity to be and has allowed me to complete a technical program while still in school. But I would like to see the school have more clubs and events that are not so academic based due to the fact we are still students and would like to have something other than academics at times.

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.

I graduated from this school in 2020 and went there for all four years of high school. I can say it was a great school in comparison to others. It’s very focused on academics and they don’t have any school teams or sports. When I went there teachers and the schools staff were very kind and respectfu...
