I'm the 5th child in my family to attend metro and i love it, the involvement in this school is so special and amazing and i love our student government team, there are so many great people and the academics you get here are unbelievable. From the CTE's to the regular classes they all offer so much and get you ready for college education. I highly recommend this school as there is so much opportunities that comes with it.

My daughter has attended Metro Tech High since her freshman year and she is now a Senior. The school has excellent teachers and they have supported my daughter to follow her dreams and goals. This is an excellent career high school. I never hear about student fights either which is wonderful.
