Tour of Tech, the Tech Campus open house, will give students and parents a chance explore Tech Campus. Tour of Tech will be held January 13, from 4:30pm-7:30pm.
Tech Campus is offered for juniors and seniors to attend classes in a specific career training program. Students go to their first two classes at LZHS and are back in time to eat lunch and attend 8th and 9th periods, Eric Hamilton, assistant principal for curriculum and instruction, said.
In previous years, the Tech Campus open house was held in October, but it has recently been changed to January this year.
“This is the first year we have held it in January, the reason we have changed is because sophomores meet with their guidance counselor in February,” Martin said. “We wanted it to be at a time when the information about Tech Campus is still fresh in their heads.”
The hopes for the Tour of Tech this year is to recruit 8th-10th grade students to attend tech campus, Martin said.
Last year approximately 1,500 people attended the Tour of Tech, and Martin is hoping more people attend this year.
