Technical education students are AMAZING! They not only graduate with a diploma, but they also finish school with a skill set directly related to their career pathway, confidence that is backed by hands-on experience and for many students, on-site training experience. They learn to balance academics alongside their technical career training. Many students are also engaged in community service, after-school jobs and extra-curriculars. On my recent visit to the CMTHS - Central Montco Technical High School, I was so impressed to see the projects that the students were working on, their enthusiasm for their work and the knowledge and experience that the instructors were bringing into the classroom. It is an engaging learning environment that fosters life-long success. For many students, CMTHS becomes the place where they feel supported and a part of something that is truly special, where their skills and passion are recognized. Technical education opens the door for students that want to continue into higher education programs, move into certification programs as well as students that choose to move into careers directly after graduation. If you believe in the importance of technical education, please consider making a donation to our mission to support the students of CMTHS with their educational and career pursuits. Every donation makes a positive impact and we are greatly appreciative of our generous donors. Thank YOU!

Long -term: Possibly within the first 10 years take on a leadership position (Chief of Surgery), work with a team on ways to develop treatment plans that are cost effective for each patient's needs.'

'How I became interested in the health field: I always enjoyed learning science particularly biological science. Adding on being the second oldest of five, I grew to have a strong appreciation to take care of others and make sure that they're good. I remember hearing about different types of medical conditions and researching them and being so incredibly fascinated by how doctors and other medical professionals came up with different treatment plans designed for that particular patient.'

I try to be kind and supportive, especially when someone is going through a hard time. Joining Allied Health, shadowing, getting hospital experience and learning more about what healthcare workers do for people every day, made me realize more and more that I can see myself doing this. I want to work in healthcare because I love helping people, especially when they need it the most.'
