P-TECH is an innovative partnership between GJHS, CMU Tech, and local businesses to provide students with an opportunity to earn an associates degree at the same time as earning their high school diploma. Students can enter P-TECH as a 9th, 10th, or 11th grader and the program is designed to be completed in 4-, 5-, or 6- years. P-TECH students take traditional high school courses, P-TECH program specific courses, and have opportunities to participate in career experiences.
Current GJHS Students - Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Students will meet with their counselor and/or P-TECH Coordinators to determine if P-TECH is a good fit given the student's academics and P-TECH program requirements.
Incoming 8th Graders - Please complete your application by the end of December to be accepted for the beginning of your 9th grade year.
