My experience as a senior at J.M Wright Technical High School has been amazing and I would recommend it to any student who wants a head start on their future. Wright Tech is a trade school that recently added a new trade. I am in the Culinary Arts program, and over the years, I've earned three Serve Safe certifications, which means I can start working at any restaurant right after high school.

J.M Wright Technical High School was a great experience. Gave me a great opportunity to have an internship with the City of Stamford for my mechanical trade. Teachers are very supportive and helpful on what you need.

What an awful school! Academics are a joke, most of the teachers are very disorganized and have no idea what assignments they are giving us. Uniforms were not all that bad until they released the pants on the second year of opening. Next year, in 2018, particular shops are changing the dress code in...
