Principal Janis McCreary says, "It used to be schools like this were considered vocational education, training kids to go right into the workforce. The difference is we are a career-tech school, so our focus is to prepare the kids for not only the work place right away--if that's what they want to do but for a higher education." "After high school we feel we're preparing them more here because they're getting the hands on experience."
This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

A friend and founder of the New England Association of Woodworking Teachers sent me a link to another program offering hands on learning. The Academy of Arts, Careers and Technology.
