The school's enrollment is approximately 400 students. Students from Cambridge-South Dorchester High School and North Dorchester High School attend Dorchester Career and Technology programs during the regular school day in addition to their regular home school program.
Students may obtain their State of Maryland high school required program completion (4 credits) through completing a program in its entirety. Students will receive a "Certificate of Completion" and a “Competency Profile” upon completion of the program. Students will have the opportunity to acquire “Value Added” components during their study ranging from “Nationally Recognized Certifications” to “Articulation Agreements” (early college credits) with local colleges and universities.
Completing a Career and Technology Education program does not in any way prevent your student from attending college and might very well make their career pursuit more valuable.
