10th grade visitations
A-Tech is still providing visits on an individual basis. If you are interested in scheduling one, please call Amanda Schumann at 440-576-6015.
A-Tech is also working on videos that will profile individual programs and an overview of what A-Tech has to offer and how to apply. These videos will be posted on their website and Facebook page.
If a student knows that they want to apply to A-Tech, you can apply at https://atech.enrolltrack.com/StudentPortal/#. Programs can fill up quickly so apply sooner rather than later, because you can change your mind up to the start of next school year. We would rather you have the spot for the program and then decide you don't want it, than you want a program and can't get it.
