From the school

"The A-Tech website, www.atech.org, provides parents and students access to the A-Tech calendar, course catalog, student/parent handbook, magnet information, directory information, announcements, and individual teacher web pages with grades, assignments, and resources. Students and parents e-mail teachers through InterAct, and live video announcements broadcast into each classroom. Parents are invited to an autumn Open House, two evening Community Nights, Counselors' College Night and to participate on the Parent Advisory Committee or the newly-formed Parent Advisory Board. Student Ambassadors visit all CCSD eighth grade students' schools to recruit for A-Tech. A-Tech newsletters are published electronically, and the Maverick Messenger is delivered to students. Partnerships with companies, internships, career fairs, guest speakers, and job shadowing bring community members to A-Tech and students to business opportunities where they experience the correlation between classroom learning and the skills and knowledge needed after high school."
