Tech Prep is national educational reform that began in 1990 through the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Act, a federally funded program.

Tech Prep was enacted in order to address the needs of high school students in the academic middle.

Tech Prep was designed as a seamless grade 11 through associate degree program, with the option of beginning a technical career or continuing on to a bachelor's degree.

Tech Prep addresses the need for a high tech workforce in the 21st century.

Tech Prep was designed to address the needs of students who learn best through challenging hand-on activities rather than lecture bound coursework.
