6. Southeast Area Technical High School
Proposed School Name
Southeast Area Technical High School
(SEA-TECH)
Because of the location of the school and its relation to the “Southeast Region,” this name was selected to move forward with state documentation and marketing purposes. SEA- TECH as a shortened abbreviation of the school name is a very easy name to remember and favors well with students and parents.

Both 8th grade parents AND students are interested in the concept and would consider this an opportunity for their high school education
Job shadowing, WBL and tuition free opportunities to earn credentials among the top reasons of interest
Extra-Curricular and the ability to participate in athletics was a priority

Marketing has begun (Counselors and MS Principals are aware of option)
Recruitment and formal Student/Parent/Community presentations to begin at the first of the year (or sooner)
