Worcester Technical High School


Worcester Technical High School is a vocational-technical high school, part of Worcester Public Schools district in Worcester, Massachusetts, United States. It opened on August 28, 2006, replacing the old Worcester Vocational High School at 2 Grove Street. The school was also known for a period as Worcester Vocational Technical High School beginning around 1975. When the David Hale Fanning Trade School in Worcester closed its Chatham Street premises some years later, the curriculum, staff and student body transferred to WVTHS. Since many new non-technical areas of study were added by the merging of the two schools, the word "Technical" was dropped from the school's name.
When the school moved to Green Hill, the name was once again changed to its current title of Worcester Technical High School. With this move also came the change of the school mascot, going from the Bulldogs to the Eagles. There are many different rumors as to why this happened seeing as how the Bulldog was very closely associated with Worcester Tech for many years.
Worcester Technical High School has 23 different trades from which students can choose, from the 4 different Academies – Alden Design and Engineering, Allied Health and Human Services, Coghlin Construction Academy, Information Technology and Business Service
