Welcome
from the Director!
The St. Croix Regional Technical Center (SCRTC) is
dedicated to providing first class
occupational preparation for the high school students of Eastern
Washington County. SCRTC offers students from Calais, Eastport, and
Woodland high schools an opportunity to gain entry level, employable
skills in several career and technical education (CTE) areas while still in high school.
A student can complete a CTE program while still gaining strong
academic preparation. For example, a student planning to enter a health
field profession such as nursing or X-ray technology can take algebra,
chemistry, and other required admission courses in the morning and still
have time to take the Certified Nursing Assistant program in the
afternoon. This would provide a student with first-hand exposure to the
hospital setting.
Skills gained in all of our trade areas could be used in
preparation for post-secondary education, in pursuit
of a life-long career, as a skill to help you find work to pay for other
educational or training endeavors, or simply as knowledge to use in
doing work for yourself or your family.
I hope the information provided on this website will be helpful
in planning for your future working career.
