Delaware County Technical School

This opportunity is for Delaware County residents.  Career and Technical Education gives high school students the chance to get a head start on preparing for college and careers.  Students learn how core school subjects are used in the workplace and they are afforded the opportunity to participate in hands-on training in their chosen program.  They gain real world experience through job shadows and cooperative education positions.   
 
Students have the opportunity to spend half of each school day studying a particular area of interest.  There are programs in five areas of study:
  • Health and Biosciences
  • Engineering and Computer Science
  • Logistics, Distribution and Transportation
  • Hospitality, Tourism and Human Services
  • Construction Technology
 
Students can begin attending DCTS in 10th grade, with opportunities to earn industry certifications and college credits.  There are also opportunities for dual enrollment and co-op experience where students apply the skills that they have gained in a professional setting.
 
Download application at DCIU.ORG/DCTS and submit to your guidance counselor.  Please note that the deadline for the 2023-2024 school year is February 28.
