Paul M. Hodgson Vocational Technical High School is a public high school in Glasgow, Delaware and is one of four vocational-technical school high schools within the New Castle County Vocational-Technical School District.[1]

Brief History

[edit]

The school was conceptually established in 1974 after the overwhelming success of Delcastle Technical High School and opened in 1976 as a part of Newark Public Schools.[2][3] Two years later, Hodgson became a part of the New Castle County Vocational-Technical School District.[4][5]

Academics

[edit]

In addition to 10 credits within their chosen program, Hodgson students must meet Delaware core standards: 4 credits of English and math; 3 science and social studies credits; 2 language credits; 1 physical education credit; and 0.5 health credits.[6] Each of the career programs has its own required courses, which allows students to gain the most contextual education possible.[6]

There are 16 career programs separated into six distinct areas at Hodgson:[7]

  • Business, Communication, and Computers: Computer Network Administration[6]
  • Construction Technologies: Carpentry; Electrical Trades; Industrial Mechanics/Millwright Technologies; Masonry; and Plumbing[6]
  • Health Services: Dental Assisting; Health Information Technology; and Nursing Technology[6]
  • Public and Consumer Services: Cosmetology; Culinary Arts; and the Teacher Academy for Early Childhood Development[6]
  • Science, Energy, and Drafting Technologies: Academy of Manufacturing/Pre-Engineering and Technical Drafting & Design[6]
  • Transportation: Auto Body and Auto-Technology[6]

Hodgson also has partnerships with higher education institutions such as Delaware Technical and Community College, University of Delaware, Wilmington University so students can earn dual enrollment credits as well.[6] In 2017, more than 90% of those enrolled in college courses finished them successfully.[8]
