Academics
Trimble Tech is a vocational school. In addition to Texas-mandated curriculum requirements, Tech's students take classes that prepare them for various technical and career fields, such as carpentry, auto repair and a special-interest program called health science and hospital administration.
In July 2010, Trimble Tech attained "Recognized" status based on its students' performance on state-mandated Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills standardized tests.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
