CHINESE EDUCATION OFFICIALS VISIT KAYNOR TECH

On Wednesday, November 2nd, A delegation of Chinese Education officials visited Kaynor Technical High School in Waterbury, Connecticut. Their visit was part of a tour sponsored by the Chinese government of schools throughout the United States. The guests were welcomed by Dr. Abigail Hughes, Superintendent of the Connecticut Technical High School System (CTHSS),  Robert Axon, Principal of Kaynor Tech, as well as by staff and student leaders.

A sumptuous luncheon was provided by the students of the Kaynor Tech Culinary Arts program under the direction of Chef James Motasky. The guests then watched a Powerpoint presentation about the school and the community and then went on tours of the shop wing. This visit is the first step in establishing sister relationships between Kaynor Tech and a high school in Shandong Province. Kaynor Tech Principal Axon and other CTHSS staff will be visiting China in April, 2006 to continue the relationship.
