Department of Industrial Technology
 
Department Philosophy As part of a comprehensive high school, the Industrial Technology Department will work to meet the needs of a variety of students. Although our basic goal is not vocational in nature, we will stress proper shop procedures and methods used in industry to give our students a practical look to later transfer. We will also expose our students to skills associated with technical professions, such as engineering. In both technical and skill based courses, the students will learn how to develop solutions to problems and in many cases create working models. Students will be given the opportunity to be creative and demonstrate their proficiencies by producing a finished product. We will accept our students where they are and expose them to a wide variety of experiences that will help them advance as far as their interest and ability can take them.Department Objectives 1.
