Winter Park Tech has just received the Department of Education’s Silver School Award. This award reflects the encouragement we have given to students towards helping their peers, as well as younger students.

In addition, Winter Park Tech has also received the Florida Department of Education’s Golden School Award for valuing the tremendous contributions our School Volunteers and Partners in Education bring to the students at Winter Park Tech and Orange County.
 

Once every two years, the IT programs at Winter Park Tech join together to present to local high school students what the tech programs are all about. This year, keeping in mind the attitudes of today's youth, the Web Design program created a brand image that was used throughout the exhibits. D.I.G.I.T., which is an acronym for Design - Interactivity - Games - Information - Technology, allowed presenters from the IT programs to show off what each program can offer to local high school students who choose to come to Winter Park Tech. The IT programs participating in D.I.G.I.T. included Computer Systems Technology, Digital Design, Network Systems Administration, PC Support Services, Web Design, and Web Programming.

The students were given t-shirts, buttons, and other prizes, which featured the D.I.G.I.T. logo and the new Dual Enrollment website for Winter Park Tech, 2WPT (www.2wpt.com). 

Winter Park Tech celebrated the addition of a new technical center campus that will open later this year during a groundbreaking ceremony held recently. The center will house the current pharmacy and patient care tech programs, in addition to nail tech and facial tech programs. The campus is located in East Orlando across from Timber Creek High.  read more »
