About 200 students, D.C.'s career and technical high school is not usually a bustling place. But on a recent school day, as a busload of students arrived for their afternoon classes, the small Northeast Washington campus livened up — music blared from a speaker in the common room and teens chatted excitedly over trail mix. The Advanced Technical Center, now in its second year, is not like most high schools in the District — or even the country. Teens practice taking vitals on medical dummies and coding in computer labs. Its entire curriculum is designed to provide a training ground for students pursuing high-demand careers in cybersecurity and nursing. But the school also offers a possible solution to D.C.'s workforce development challenges.
