Alumni Successes Highlight "Opportunities and Choices" at Cape Cod Tech
Published on Friday, January 27, 2012
At Cape Cod Regional Technical High School we provide students with the opportunity to pursue college, a career or both upon graduation. The choice is yours. Our hands-on approach to learning provides students with the unique opportunity to gain real-life experience in a supportive and encouraging environment -- giving them a jumpstart on students at non-technical high schools.
In addition to our wide array of Technical Programs, we offer a full academic curriculum with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to meet the growing need for this specialized knowledge in today’s world. In September 2012, our engineering courses are being expanded to become a new, full Engineering Technical Program offering college course credits.
