Principal's Office

 

Richard CavallaroWelcome to H.C. Wilcox Technical High School. Our aim is to encourage every learner to work to his or her highest potential. The learning tradition at H.C. Wilcox Technical High School is exceedingly rich. Outstanding academic and technical programs have been offered at the school since 1918. Our faculty provides diverse instruction to students in order to prepare them for the world beyond high school. It is our goal to give our students the marketable skills that are necessary to compete in a global economy and a rapidly changing technological society. We offer thirteen occupation specific technologies in addition to our academic courses and adult education programs. The curriculum is new, varied, and prepares our graduates for the rigors of post-high school academic study, and provides them the problem-solving skills requisite for success in a technological career. Our curriculum is aligned with the Connecticut Frameworks and our students have advanced on statewide assessments that are indicators of progress for The No Child Left Behind Act.

The H.C. Wilcox Technical High School completed the New England Association of Schools and Colleges Evaluative Study in the fall of 2001. Wilcox, without difficulty maintained this accreditation. This accreditation has been upheld and was confirmed through the Association's 2003 Two-Year Progress Report.

Wilcox proudly continues to grow. We have recently enhanced and diversified our curriculum. Students can now choose from a number of new elective courses at the school and participate in course work offering differentiated instruction. Our upcoming campus additions such as the new gymnasium, new hairdressing/cosmetology/barbering technology shop, new sports park, and our new cafeteria art wall painted by world-renowned artist Susan Kaprov. A climate of excitement is clear at H. C. Wilcox Technical High School . The entire school community is eagerly anticipating the changes that our renovation project will bring. We are pleased that you have chosen Wilcox as part of your venture into life-long learning.

Sincerely,

Richard Cavallaro,

Principal
