The Vo-Tech


OK, it's North Montco Technical Career Center now.
But at one time it was the Vo-Tech, and for 40 years has educated generations of students in an ever-growing list of trades. The school opened in 1967 with 870 students and a half-million dollar budget; this year they have 1,135 students enrolled and a budget near $9 million.


Some of the courses offered in 1967: Appliance repair, drafting, carpentry, cosmetology, electronic technology, food prep, masonry, radio-TV repair, and more.
Some of the courses offered this year: Allied health, automotive, biotechnology, commercial art, construction carpentry, computer information science, horticulture, robotics, and more.


This weekend the school is celebrating the anniversary with an open house Sunday April 27 from 1-4 pm.
