Philosophy

Applied Technology is a significant part of Fenton’s comprehensive high school program. Applied Technology can help students become technologically literate and equipped with the necessary skills to cope with, live, and work in today’s highly technological society. Courses are designed around useful lifelong technological skills taught from a practical problem-solving approach. Students may elect to take Applied Technology courses for consumer knowledge and/or for an introduction to a career. Applied Technology can benefit students as they prepare for college, employment, or to establish life-long skills and leisure activities.
