Career Majors
Although no longer a vocational school, all students attending the school have a career major class during their sophomore, junior, and senior years. The majors offered at Eastern are: Allied Health, Automotive, Business and Administration, Communications/Multimedia and Design, Computer Aided Drafting (Discontinued beginning in Fall 2007), Construction, Culinary, Engineering, Information Technology, Law Related Careers, and Teaching Education. In previous years some programs such as the Engineering major required students to begin career major classes in their freshman year. However that practice has recently been abandoned to give all students a chance to experience the "swing". This course allows students to spend a few weeks at a time in classes pertaining to each major in order to aid in their career choice. All 9th graders have to go through the swing in order to receive their Technology Credit as required by the state. In the present, Eastern Technical High School remains a Blue Ribbon School. "A School Like No Other."

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
