Mission
The Appleton Technical Academy graduates students who possess the knowledge and skills necessary for successful entry into the career pathways of modern advanced manufacturing.
Philosophy
The philosophy of ATECH is centered on preparing students to enter the workforce with the skills necessary for academic and social success in their chosen field.
Students who graduate from ATECH will be prepared to directly enter the workforce via job training, through an apprenticeship, by attending a two-year community college, by attending a technical school, or by attending a major four-year college or university.
ATECH will create a community that encourages all students to work towards realizing their potential and promote students who make positive social, academic, and career driven choices.
