Technical Center Courses

Alpena high school partners with North Arkansas Techinical Center in Harrison, AR to provide courses to our students who are in 11th and 12th grades. Tech center courses are a great way for students planning on entering the career field following high school graduation to get ahead of the game. Students will be on campus at Alpena for the first part of the day, and then attend the tech center for the second half of the day. If a student is interested in taking a tech center course he/she needs to speak with Mrs. Garrett.
