Every year we offer informational programs
to freshmen students, as well as providing
tours for student to see Steel Center for Career
and Technical Education and the offerings in
action. We also provide individual and small
group tours as needed. Students enrolled
at Brentwood High School may attend Steel
Center for Career and Technical Education for a
morning session in a career area of their choice.
They get to work in the class and get an actual
experience of what the class is like and if it
meets their needs before making a decision.
We have a number of students who are taking
courses at Steel Center for Career and Technical
Education and are also taking high level
academic classes at Brentwood High School.
We do our best to accommodate schedules so
that our students can take career education and
high level classes for college readiness.
The Brentwood Borough School District has
recognized the need to promote and inform
the public of this educational opportunity
for students. Recently, the Pennsylvania
Department of Education approved Brentwood
Borough School District’s Comprehensive Plan
starting July 1, 2016. Within this plan, one of the
goals was to make an extra effort to promote
and guide students to this viable educational
option. One of the members of the Brentwood
Borough School District Board of School
Directors, Mr. David Schaap, serves on the Joint
Advisory Committee at Steel Center for Career
and Technical Education. There is a great need
for jobs in this area and the Brentwood Borough
School District and Brentwood High School
are making sure that parents and students
are aware of the fantastic opportunities and
options for students looking into future careers.
