Welcome from the School Adminstrator

Gil TraversoWelcome to Bristol Technical Education Center, an exceptional learning community. Our school draws approximately 130 students from 32 surrounding towns. We offer academic courses equivalent to other high schools in English, Mathematics, and Social Studies. We also offer technical courses in Automotive Technology, Culinary Arts, Electronics, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Manufacturing Technology, and Welding.

Our unique certificate program allows students to learn a technical skill, which supplements their sending school's academic program. This setting also provides eligible students the opportunity to earn income while working in their technical field through Cooperative Work Experience. Upon graduation from Bristol Technical Education Center our students are prepared for immediate employment in their certified trade, in the business world, or for higher education.

We feel that our school offers a safe, rigorous academic environment where students are motivated to learn and therefore reach their individual potential. We encourage our students to strive for high ethical behavior and to appreciate and accept the diversity that our ever changing global society offers us.

We believe that our program of studies provides a broad range of both academic and technological opportunities in order to prepare our students for their future as successful, productive members of society.
