Grade 9
All Grade 9 students go through the Exploratory Program. Students deciding to enter the manufacturing technology field will receive instruction in the basics of safety, as well as the use and care of hand tools, power tools and stationary equipment. Manufacturing methods are initiated with an introduction to machinery and material types, along with their basic applications. Students start with small metalworking projects, which lead to projects that are more complicated. Technology-related mathematics, reading, writing, vocabulary, CNC programming & machining, blueprint reading and science are integrated throughout the curriculum.
