North Tech High School

Advanced Manufacturing

The Advanced Manufacturing cluster includes professions that create products that are essential to the growth and welfare of other industries. Engineers and technicians in these fields design, produce, and maintain manufactured goods and devices which are used in a wide variety of other areas including industrial electronics, energy, aerospace, and transportation.

Arts & Communication

The Arts and Communication career cluster incorporates jobs that involve the creation, expression, and exchange of ideas. Whether these ideas are expressed through technical drawings, colorful marketing material, or clothing, this cluster is an exciting opportunity for anyone that desires a career where they can articulate and communicate ideas in a variety of formats.

Business & Information Technology

The Business and Information Technology career cluster reflects our unprecedented need to access information in a timely manner. Today business information streams from the financial databases of Wall Street, the computers of travel agents, and the secret servers of the U.S. military, making it clear that these professions will always play a necessary role in modern society.

Construction

The Construction career cluster includes professions that design, build, and maintain the various structures where we entertain, live, learn, and do business. From the tallest skyscrapers in the modern world, to the heavily congested runways of busy airports, construction architects, planners, engineers, and designers are necessary to meet the needs of our expanding population.

Human Services

The Human Services career cluster is dedicated to assisting and helping people lead more fulfilling, productive, and happy lives. Professions in this cluster address the physical, intellectual, and emotional needs of people who are in need of assistance with services such as social wellness, health and fitness, beauty, and general everyday care.

Medical, Plant & Animal Sciences

The Medical, Plant and Animal Sciences career cluster deals with jobs that encompass aspects of health care, agriculture, and animal sciences. These areas include scientific research emphasizing living organisms, the care and management of earth’s natural resources, as well as the protection and welfare of pets and other animals.

Public Safety

The Public Safety career cluster highlights occupations that have been in existence for many years, as well as recently developed careers which have stemmed from the need to protect our homeland from attack. Professions which enforce the law, prosecute offenders, run correctional facilities, and protect the public will always be necessary to maintain a secure and safe society.

Transportation

The Transportation career cluster pathway enlists occupations that support the distribution and logistics of moving people and goods from one location to another. This is of course essential to the health and well being of today’s economy where products, services, and workers must move from place to place rapidly and reliably.

2012 MLK Showcase

Saturday, January 14th
North Tech's #32, Chaumora Henderson, leading the Golden Eagles against MHEA North Tech and its Lady Golden Eagles basketball team hosted the "St. Louis MLK Basketball Showcase" January 14th-16th, bringing in girls basketball teams from around the country. The first game of the showcase was a "battle of the Eagles" as the North Tech Golden Eagles clashed with the Eagles of Memphis-Area Home Education Association (MHEA) from Millington Tennessee. In the first quarter MHEA dominated NT from the 3 point line putting them up 20 points. Seemingly unaffected by the score, North Tech's number 32 Chaumora Henderson led the Golden Eagles, fighting hard during the first to keep the ball moving and scored with a few seconds left in the quarter to get NT on the board.

Throughout the 2nd and 3rd quarters MHEA consistently moved the ball around the court, took many more 3 point shots, and gave the North Tech defense a run for their money with some fancy foot work from number 12 Torri Lewis. MHEA's Lewis was the top scorer of the game, accredited for a third of her team's total points. During half-time, MHEA's Leah Lytle practiced three pointers...

A Hero Among Us

November 10, 2011
The following article is a humble tribute to Ms. McNeil, Jr. Health Sciences Instructor at North Tech. The actions and kind words by the students and staff at North Tech show how truly blessed we all are to have such a wonderful person in our lives.

A letter from her students.......................

"Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

11th Grade Health Science students pose
for a picture outside Ms. McNeil's house We are the 11th grade students in the Health Science program at North Technical High School. To our dismay, our beloved teacher, Ms. McNeil was diagnosed with bone cancer a couple of years ago. At that time, she underwent extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments and everyone believed that she had beaten that horrific illness. Unfortunately, a little over a month ago we were informed that her cancer had returned and spread to her spine and pelvic areas. Upon receiving that awful news, most people would have probably curled up in a corner and cried...but not Ms. McNeil! She is one of the strongest and most inspiring people we know, and once again is prepared to do everything in her power to fight...
