Whittier Tech Welcomes District Residents to Attend Building Project Information Sessions

REGIONAL – Whittier Tech invites residents in its 11 sending community to learn more about the proposed Whittier Tech Building Project during public information sessions planned in the coming months.
Whittier Tech is pursuing construction of a new building to best provide a 21st century technical education to students, helping them join the workforce in emerging careers.
The current building was opened in 1973, and its last significant renovation was a roof replacement in 2007.
Whittier will host three districtwide events:
• Thursday, Oct. 5 – Community Forum, Whittier Tech auditorium, 4:30-5:30 p.m.
• Sunday, Nov. 5 – Annual Whittier Tech Open House, 1-4 p.m. Eighth-grade students and member communities are invited to each year to learn more about the school and its offerings.
• Saturday, Jan. 13 – Whittier Tech Current Building Tour, 9-11 a.m. This is an opportunity for community members to tour the building and learn more about the project.
