Why choose us?

At Howell Cheney Technical High School (Cheney Tech), part of the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System (CTECS), we provide students with opportunities to master skills in career and technology programs while earning a high school diploma, CTE certification, and industry-recognized credentials. Our students learn a skilled trade in one of 11 different career fields like information technology, carpentry, and manufacturing, preparing them for Connecticut&rsquo;s workforce needs or further education. Cheney Tech is a culturally diverse setting that welcomes students from over 30 towns.

Unlike a traditional high school where a student has 182 days to complete state-mandated academic requirements, our students split their time between academics and career and technical education, mastering state standards for academic courses in 91 days and trade courses in the other 91 days. Students rotate between academic and CTE courses approximately every two weeks. Ninth-grade students participate in all of the technical programs offered at our school through the Exploratory Program. This experience allows students to engage in the various career path opportunities before choosing one that will set the framework for their education in grades 10-12. As part of their CTE curriculum, students in grades 11-12 take part in the CTECS Student Workforce Program, which is designed to give them practical, hands-on experience and real-world application of learned theoretical skills.
