Philosophy:
Applied
Technology is a significant part of Fenton’s comprehensive high school
program. Applied Technology can help students become technologically
literate and equipped with the necessary skills to cope with, live, and
work in today’s highly technological society. Courses are designed
around useful lifelong technological skills taught from a practical
problem-solving approach. Students may elect to take Applied Technology
courses for consumer knowledge and/or for an introduction to a career.
Applied Technology can benefit students as they prepare for college,
employment, or to establish life-long skills and leisure activities.
Recommendations:
The
Applied Technology Department offers exciting courses to all students
in the areas of drafting, electronics, graphics, metals, photography,
powers, video, and woods. These classes are lab oriented with practical,
hands-on experiences. Some students may acquire College
of DuPage credit for certain classes taken from the Applied Technology
Department at Fenton High School. Consider a career that can begin at
Fenton with your experiences in the Applied Technology Department.
Fenton High School is in an area surrounded by hi-tech industries that
are looking for people with skills for the technical world in which we
live.
