PHILADELPHIA ELECTRICAL & TECH CHS
About School District: The Philadelphia Electrical and Technology Charter High School (PET) was established in 2002. We have grown from the new kid on the block to one of the most highly regarded high schools in Philadelphia. In 2004-2005, PET had its first graduating class and has grown to over 600 students. Our goal is to prepare our students to enter high tech and electrical fields in a variety of ways, either through pursuit of apprenticeships at IBEW Local 98, attendance at two or four year colleges, direct employment in those industries following graduation, or some combination of those paths. PE&T prepares students to become motivated, confident, technically proficient, disciplined, academically-sound, age/grade appropriate students with the skills to meet or exceed school performance standards of the School District of Philadelphia. Our educational program continues to stand out as a unique offering in the Philadelphia area – a vocational-technical program upgraded for the 21st century, with students participating in both college and career preparation in equal measures. A key element of our programming is to help our students develop the skills necessary to become leaders in the work-place, as well as in the community. The mission of the Philadelphia Electrical and Technology Charter High School is to develop students who will be employable in the emerging high-tech industries, while giving students a strong foundation in the core academic subjects-math, science, language arts, social studies and world languages. Recognizing the fast-growing, ever-changing, technology that will affect our home and work lives in the 21st century, our teachers will instruct and emphasize the emerging high-tech skills necessary for the construction, telecommunications, and related industries that are at the forefront of the Information Age.
