Mission Statement

The Delaware County Technical Schools are Preparing Today's Students for Tomorrow's Opportunities.

The Delaware County Technical Schools  (DCTS) is an extension of the local district comprehensive high school. Students residing in any of the 15 school districts may elect to enroll in career and technical education (CTE) programs offered at the technical schools. The Delaware County Technical Schools offer a wide variety of programs for secondary students. These programs are competency based programs that have rigorous CTE content and provide the basis for student success in their chosen career areas. Also, these programs are either nationally certified or working toward certification to ensure a high standard within the curriculum content area. Students enrolled at DCTS elect courses that will lead to jobs that exist in the current local job market. Students also have the option of attending colleges and universities as part of articulation or dual enrollment agreements with various post-secondary institutions. Programs are brought to the next level by integrating academics within the career and technical curricula and increasing student achievement expectations as a means of strengthening the career pathway and post-secondary options available to students.
