Events

Tours run while classes are in session, which is deliberate. An empty welding bay tells you nothing; a welding bay with eleventh graders working in it tells you almost everything you need to know.

What a tour looks like

A tour runs about seventy-five minutes and is led by two students rather than an administrator. You will see the robotics lab, at least two trade shops, and a core academic classroom, and you will have time to ask an instructor questions without a staff member steering the conversation.

Tours are capped at twelve visitors so groups actually fit inside a shop safely. Closed-toe shoes are required for the shop floor. If you need an accessibility accommodation, tell us on the registration form and we will arrange it.

Industry partner night

Once a year we put employers, students, and families in the same room. Students present capstone work and shop projects, and partner employers talk directly about what their internships involve and what they look for in a placement. It is the most useful evening on our calendar for juniors who are about to apply for work-based learning.

Register for a visit

Tours and information nights require registration so we can keep group sizes manageable and let shop instructors plan around visitors.
