Academies
Turner Tech is a technical school that teaches students skills for their chosen program. Turner Tech is one of the first high schools to separate each job criteria in different branches. The academies are Industrial/Entertainment Technology (IET), Agriscience (AG), Academy of Information Technology and Entrepreneurship (AITE), Health, Finance, Public Service, Construction Management and Architectural Technology(CMAT). Students work in groups within each academy.
The academic course is integrated into the career major the student has chosen. Students chose a career academy when they enter the school during their freshman year. By successfully completing a sequence of technical courses, they gain certification(s) in one or more related careers.
All students assemble an active career portfolio, which includes examples of their individual work. Under each of the academies, students participate in a mass amount of hands-on experiences in actual workplaces and school-based interests.
For each Academy comes a different shirt and different color. The corresponding colors are:
IET: Jade
Health: Navy Blue
Agriscience: Forest Green
AITE: Light Blue
CMAT: Teal
Public Service: Gray
Finance: Burgundy

Famous quotes containing the word academies:
“Furnished as all Europe now is with Academies of Science, with nice instruments and the spirit of experiment, the progress of human knowledge will be rapid and discoveries made of which we have at present no conception. I begin to be almost sorry I was born so soon, since I cannot have the happiness of knowing what will be known a hundred years hence.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
