Industrial Arts - Vocational - Technical Specifically designed to meet the varying edu- cational needs of its students, the Industrial Arts- Vocational-Technical Department is divided into three broad categories. Since the objectives in each division are different, the end results are also somewhat difterent. The Industrial Arts program enables the stu- dent to understand better his own talents by giv- ing him an opportunity to explore a number of different trades and occupations on an elemen- tary level. Vocational courses, on the other hand, give the student more specific and advanced training in one of the trades, or in one particular phase of the trade in which he is interested. Finally, the Technical courses give knowledge of a more theoretical nature and are geared for those students planning to continue their studies in college.
