Boise School District
Professional Technical Center

Preparing students for expanded opportunities
in a world of choices and challenges

  • Under the joint direction of the Boise and Meridian school districts, the Dehryl A. Dennis Technical Education Center provides Ada County students with workforce skill development and a seamless transition to active participation in economic and community roles.
  • The Dennis Technical Education Center serves 900 students from 15 area high schools throughout Boise, Meridian and Kuna School Districts.
  • High school counselors assist students to develop educational plans (Programs of Study) that emphasize technical training as a career component of their high school studies.
  • A student application form must be completed and returned to the high school counselor:
       Boise Students (course list only)    Meridian Students   Kuna Students    Private School Students
  • Dennis Center instructors are industry certified and bring a wealth of experience to the classroom. Their focus is to prepare students for transition to post-secondary training and careers beyond high school.
  • Dennis Center instructors emphasize employability skills and professionalism in the work place.
  • Partnerships are the vital link between our school and Treasure Valley business and industry as we prepare students to succeed in today’s work environment.
  • In classrooms and labs, state-of-the-art technologies serve as tools to teach industry specific processes and meet professional certification requirements.
  • TECH PREP is a key feature of all Dennis Center programs. High School Students can earn college credits while taking technical high school courses through a process called "concurrent enrollment" or "Tech Prep Agreements." The credits vary depending on the class taken and the college with which we have agreements. A list of courses is available on the District's Counseling site.
  • Visit the Idaho Division of Professional-Technical Education to learn more about "who we are" and "what we do".
  • See your counselor to register for Technical Center programs.
