Mission Statement

The Huron Area Technical Center accepts the challenge to provide each individual and business with access to career and technical education which meets the changing needs of our global society. We expect all learners to strive toward their highest potential and to become lifelong learners, thereby improving quality of life.

Here's how you can earn college credit:

High School and Adult students attending the Huron Area Technical Center can get help achieving their employment goals by earning college credit through "articulation."

Each Career-Technical Education (CTE) program at HATC has "articulation agreements" with technical schools, community colleges, or universities in fields of study related to the CTE program.
Some agreements call for the student to be able to pass a competency test to earn articulated credit, others require completion of a number of college credits before the articulated credit is awarded, some have no requirement, and award the college credit on the approval of the CTE program instructor.
For more information on "articulation" see the CTE program instructor or stop in to the main office.

Federal Carl D. Perkins legislation requires all Career and Technical Education programs monitor student and program performance. Each Career and Technical Education program has core performance measures in each of the following areas:

Academic Achievement
Technical Achievement
High School Completion
Placement
Non-Traditional Enrollment
Non-Traditional Completion.
