Connecticut Technical High School System

The Connecticut Technical High School System (CTHSS) is a network of public high schools that combine academic education with technical training. It prepares students for careers in fields such as engineering, healthcare, technology, and trades by providing hands-on experience alongside classroom learning. Students typically attend these schools after middle school, and the program aims to develop both academic skills and practical expertise, often leading to certifications or licenses. The system emphasizes real-world skills, industry partnerships, and employment readiness, offering students a pathway to skilled trades, technical careers, or further education.
