In addition, many off-site shops operate within the community to provide additional services with "real-world" applications.
The school operates on an "A" and "B" week schedule; 9th and 11th graders will be in the shop when the 10th and 12th graders are in academic classrooms, and vice versa.
In their senior year, students have the opportunity to participate in a program known as CO-OP. Instead of attending traditional classes during the week of technical instruction, CO-OP students are allowed in the community to do real jobs that are related to their particular field of study.
