Suffolk Public Schools has been awarded a $10,000 Tech Prep High Schools That Work grant for Nansemond River High School for the 1995-96 school year.
With the addition of $5,000 in local matching funds, this project will increase the math, science and communications achievement and the application of learning for college-bound students. It will integrate the essential content of traditional college preparatory studies - math, science and language arts - with vocational/technical studies by creating conditions that support school leaders and teachers in carrying out certain key practices.
During the school year, the focus will be on establishing the Tech Prep program in engineering and industrial technologies.
In the 1996-97 school year, the project will focus on establishing the health and human services career program of studies. by CNB
