Tech Prep programs are provided through the Adams County schools, operating in concert with colleges and technical schools.
The Adams County Tech Prep Consortium (ACTPC) was formed in 1995. The consortium includes Bermudian Springs, Conewago Valley, Fairfield, Gettysburg and Littlestown School districts. In the 2013-2014 school year the consortium supports career programs with instruction for nearly 200 students. The programs being offered are Allied Health, Culinary Arts, Law Enforcement/Police Science, Building Trades, Early Learning and Diesel Mechanics. All programs provide advanced instruction in their subject area to juniors and seniors from the five districts.
Post-Secondary opportunities are accomplished through articulation agreements for credit with area colleges and universities. In 2008 the Bureau of Career and Technical Education (BCTE) adopted a new design for tech prep programs identified as “Programs of Study” (POS).
April 2011 marked a significant milestone when we moved out of rented space and into our new facility on the Gettysburg Area High School Campus. Our new building houses Allied Health, Culinary Arts, Diesel Mechanics and Law Enforcement programs. The Building Trades and Early Learning Programs are housed in GAHS.
This site is dedicated to our current students and all those who have gone before!
To empower students with the knowledge and skills necessary for career development and life success in an ever expanding technological and global society.
