Tech Prep Works: Student Success Stories
|
Jan Graham, Western Maricopa Tech Prep
All over the state, Tech Prep programs are helping students gain skills for future success. In the Western Maricopa Tech Prep Consortium, our students and teachers are realizing some of this success right now. AZ Tech Prep Super Stars have been sighted recently at Buckeye Union High School, Barry Goldwater High School, and Ironwood High School. Congratulations to all of these outstanding Tech Prep students and teachers—they are AZ Super Stars—and they shine.
