Department Head - Mr. John Foran

The Technology Department is dedicated to introducing to and encouraging students in the development of both technological skills and soft skills, such as teamwork, problem-solving and communication.  Our goal is to foster the knowledge, motivation and acquisition of skills needed to succeed in our rapidly changing technological world.

The ELSS Technology Department offers regular programs in Manufacturing, Communications, Transportation and Construction.  At present, we also offer Pathways programs for students going directly to the workforce in  Landscape Design and Manufacturing.  For the past four years, we have been offering a full semester Co-op placement in Building Construction.  We are also presently exploring the possibility of offering Specialist High Skills Major courses which would allow students to focus on a career path that matches their skills and interests.

For more information on our programs, please feel free to contact the Technical Department.
