Message from the Principal of Pennsauken Techincal High School

Welcome to the Pennsauken Campus of Camden County Technical Schools, otherwise known as Penn Tech!

Our school has been providing career training to residents of Camden County since 1928. Our programs have changed over the years to meet the needs of employers and to prepare students for college. Technology is infused throughout all curricula and a major component of some of our high tech career programs. High school students spend about one half of their day in a career training program and one half of their day in academic classes. Our school was recognized as one of the best schools in the nation by US News and World Report.

More than 80% of our graduates enroll in college each year. Most of them enroll in majors related to their high school career programs. For example, graduates from our business programs enroll as business administration majors at the college level. Drafting students become architectural engineering majors. Allied Health Careers students become nursing majors.

All of our career programs prepare students for viable careers. Electric students who continue their training eventually become successful master electricians, owning their own companies. Additional career programs offered at Penn Tech include Automotive Technology, Carpentry, Computer Networking/Electronic Communications, Culinary Arts, Ornamental Horticulture (Landscaping and Floriculture), Printing/Graphic Arts, and Welding.

Penn Tech offers many activities and athletic programs for our high school students to join. Many awards are won as a result of involvement in these programs.

Eighth graders may apply for 9th grade admission to Penn Tech. Students who live in Camden County do not pay tuition to attend Penn Tech. Contact our guidance office to schedule a time to visit us or for an application (856-663-1040 ext. 7250) or apply on line via our school district’s website.

Sincerely yours,

Patricia E. Fitzgerald
