Amazing school, my son is now in his 10th grade year and he loves it! He loves learning about construction, manufacturing, welding and everything hands on. He's thinking about his future and what he will do after high school. The teachers are passionate about helping students succeed. Class sizes are small, which I think helps students get individual help and attention. The principal, Ms. Medina is always there to help. I would recommend this high school to anyone; I can't say enough great things about it.

My son is in the ninth grade and has been attending TTH for one semester. He absolutely loves his school. Previously he attended private school where the focus was on grades and college. This approach just wasn't working for him. At TTH the focus is on careers and working. This includes the "how to get there". My 9th grader is now THINKING about what he would like to DO with his life. Every week he comes home excited about something. He says "mom I'm going to be an electrician" I take it all with a grain of salt because the next week the school will start a new project and he will want to do that. I'm excited as a parent because my child's eyes finally sparkle and he is excited about learning and his futures possibilities. He has fun at school while he is learning. The teachers call me if he is excelling in their class and they call to recommend tutoring. The class sizes are very small 15 or so per class. This school isn't for every. They are not large enough for an athletic department and they don't have many extra curricular activities. BUT this a wonderful school that provides exactly what my son needs. I have a feeling that attending TTH will be a defining moment for many kids

I must agree with the parent below. This is an incredible school with the most incredibly caring staff members and teachers. I agree, it's a whole different ball game here and, yes, it's about time! I, too, wish more schools were set up to follow in the footsteps of NCTTHS. What a great learning environment they have set up here for our high schoolers. It's wonderful.
