Oswego County Pathways in Technology Early College High School

P-TECH is a full-day program at CiTi and OCC. Students come together from nine school districts to form a blended high school beginning in ninth grade. We are an accelerated program with many dual college credits embedded in high school courses; many courses focus on technology, science, math and engineering. Students are immersed in the growing world of advanced manufacturing through: mentoring, college coursework, industry site visits, industry challenges, career exploration activities, job shadowing and internship opportunities. We continue to support our students after their high school graduation in finishing their associate’s degree from Onondaga Community College. *Most students need an additional semester or year after high school.
