Welcome to AP Tech Ed!

You are about to indulge in the best experience at DVHS! Technology education is a student program that combines laboratory-based classroom work with practical, hands-on experiences to prepare students for the ever-changing technology world.

Technology Education is a comprehensive, action-based discipline for grades 9-12 designed to incorporate information technologies, physical technologies, and biotechnologies in promoting the integration of academic and career skills with an emphasis on problem solving and decision making that is essential in developing the human potential needed to compete in a technological society.

Computers are often used in class projects and research but they are one tool of many. Other tools may include materials testing stands, CNC router, rocketry, robotics, fuel cell kits, LEGOs, electricity breadboards, magnetic levitation tracks, CO2 cars, wind tunnel and other hands-on project tools. In Advanced Placement, the Technology Education classes include Aerospace Technology, TV Production, Illustrative Drafting & Design (CAD), Communication Technology, Energy and Power, Technology Studies and more.
