Hutchinson Central Technical High School

Hutchinson Central Technical High School

A great demand for forty years of instruction at this location, most of Technical High School's equipment was transferred to the building formerly occupied by Hutchinson Central High School. This building, located at South Elmwood Avenue and Chippewa Street, was completely renovated, remodeled and repainted.

The curriculum has been revamped and expanded continuously over the second-half of the 20th Century, for entrance into schools of engineering and or the training of technicians for entry level positions in current technical fields.The school offers a number of extra-curricular activies. Sports teams include: football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, hockey and swimming. The school also features a number of clubs and organizations including: Student Council, Students Against Drunk Driving, Kappa Sigma Phi, Drama Club, JROTC, Foreign Language Clubs, Engineering Organizations, Drill Team, Cheerleading and a school newspaper club. A music instructor is on staff and leads a number of musical groups including a jazz ensemble, concert band and marching band.

In recognition of its unique programs and past accomplishments, Hutchinson Central Technical High School was honored as a National School of Excellence in 1988-89 by the U.S. Department of Education. In 1996, Redbook Magazine cited HCTHS as one of the top 150 high schools in the country.

In October 2005, the New York Civil Liberties Union successfully pressured the school to release students from their mandatory Junior ROTC program, arguing that the practice violates the State’s Education Law, which provides that no child may be enrolled in JROTC without prior written parental consent.
