School Overview

North Technical High School, located in Florissant, Missouri, is a specialized career and technical education (CTE) institution that serves students within the Special School District of St. Louis County. Rather than operating as a traditional comprehensive high school, North Tech functions as a partner school, where students attend for half of the day to gain hands-on training in specific professional fields while completing their core academic requirements at their home high schools.

The school is designed to bridge the gap between high school and the workforce or post-secondary education. It offers a wide array of career-focused programs—ranging from culinary arts, automotive technology, and construction trades to health sciences, graphic design, and engineering. By utilizing industry-standard equipment and fostering partnerships with local businesses, North Tech provides students with the practical skills, certifications, and technical proficiencies necessary to excel in high-demand career paths immediately upon graduation.
