School Overview

Delaware County Technical High School (DCTS), Aston Campus, is one of three technical high schools operated by the Delaware County Intermediate Unit (DCIU). Designed to provide students with a competitive edge in both the workforce and higher education, the school offers rigorous Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. Students split their time between their home high schools and the DCTS campus, allowing them to balance traditional academics with hands-on, specialized training in high-demand fields such as culinary arts, health sciences, automotive technology, and information technology.

The Aston campus emphasizes a "career-ready" philosophy, pairing classroom instruction with industry-standard equipment and real-world projects. By fostering partnerships with local businesses and offering opportunities for industry certifications and college credits, the school helps students bridge the gap between secondary education and professional success. Whether students plan to enter a trade immediately after graduation or pursue advanced degrees in technical fields, DCTS serves as a vital resource for developing the practical skills and work ethic necessary for modern career pathways.
