The St. Croix Regional Technical Center is a proud member of Maine's network of career and technical education (CTE) high schools.

The St. Croix Regional Technical Center (SCRTC) is dedicated to providing first class occupational preparation for the high school students of Eastern Washington County. Programs are designed for students in grades 10 through 12. Instruction is made realistic so that each student is directly challenged to use the learning opportunities presented to: 1) gain and understand required knowledge, 2) acquire necessary skills, and 3) gain the responsible work attitudes expected of successful employees.

Students spend one-half of their day at their own high school and the remainder of the day at the technical center. Transportation from student's high school is provided. At the center, students spend 25-40% of their time in classroom activities and 60-75% of their time in the shop/lab area. Through the development of skills and good work habits, every attempt is made to make the students' experience as much like the "real world" as possible. Successful completion of a course earns three to four credits toward graduation. Application for enrollment in a course at SCRTC is made at the same time that students select their high school courses for the next year.

National Standards
As a member of Maine's network of CTE schools, our school is aligned with a set of robust national educational standards for each one of our programs. Our commitment to these national standards means that our students are fully prepared to excel at the career of their choice as soon as they graduate.

What are national educational standards?

National standards are a set of guidelines for each CTE program at each school. In culinary arts, for example, our program is focused on helping students meet or exceed a set of standards defined by a national culinary arts organization. Aligning our programs against these industry standards means that our students are gaining modern, career-oriented knowledge that will fully prepare them for their chosen careers.

Why are national standards important?

  • Prepared students
    Students feel confident knowing they are learning modern skills that will carry over into their jobs.
  • Interested employers
    Employers know that CTE students are fully prepared to excel at their jobs as soon as they graduate.
  • Measurable results
    Each CTE school can measure its success against a common set of guidelines.
