TECH-PREP
Tech-Prep allows students the opportunity to earn WWCC credits in a number of vocational program areas while completing classes at Wa-Hi. Tech Prep allows students to choose a vocational area of interest early in their high school career and to take classes that will prepare them for their career pathway. Through these classes students will gain knowledge and skill which will provide a foundation for their future. In addition, Tech Prep students may petition WWCC for credits for designated competencies mastered in their Wa- Hi classes. This allows students to move forward in their post-secondary vocational training without repeating coursework already taken at Wa-Hi.
Programs at Wa-Hi that have a Tech Prep option: Agriculture Education, Automotive Mechanics, Business Education, Industrial Technology, Computer Technology, Careers in Education, Child Development, and Culinary Arts.
