Office Hours: Mon-Fri 3:00-3:30 PM, Room 514
To meet during school hours, email your advisor to set up a meeting. You can also ask your teacher for a pass to come see us for urgent matters — we just ask that teachers reach out to us first to confirm that we are available.

College Access:
- Rep Visits: We bring admissions representatives from college and trade schools to TECH throughout the year so that our students, especially upperclassmen, can broaden and deepen their understanding of their options after graduation. In addition to our Fall College Fair, Rep Visits give students a more in-depth view of academic programs, campus life, financial aid, scholarships, athletics, etc. at specific institutions and give them facetime with college admissions professionals to increase college access.
- Campus Visits: We also organize and share opportunities to sign up for visits to college campuses. Space is usually limited to around 40 students max (depending on campus capacity). In the last 3 years, we’ve taken groups to the Community College of Philadelphia, Delaware State University, Temple University, West Chester University, Thomas Jefferson University, Penn State Abington, Arcadia University, Morgan State University, & Coppin State University.
