Mifflin-Juniata Career and Technology Center was built in 1968. The educational complex is situated on approximately twenty acres and consists of the 81,136 square foot school and an annex of 1,966 square feet. Most instructional areas include both classroom and laboratory/shop areas. The Mifflin-Juniata Career and Technology Center is jointly operated by the Juniata and Mifflin County School Districts. Students completing at least grade nine from one of five sending high schools comprise the school's population. Students attending non-public schools in Juniata and Mifflin Counties are also eligible to attend Mifflin-Juniata Career and Technology Center. Enrollment averages about 500 students annually. Vocational-technical educational programs offered at the MJCTC are approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Students receive academic credit from their sending high schools for successful completion of each planned course at the area vocational-technical school. This assists students in completing the requirements for graduation as determined by their high school. Upon successful completion of all planned courses in a specific vocational-technical program, students also receive a program completion certificate from the Mifflin-Juniata Career and Technology Center. The school currently operates on a half-day schedule. Students attend both their high school and the MJCTC daily, spending approximately one-half of their day at each site.
