Principal’s Message

Dear Students, Parents, Guardians and Staff:

Welcome to Bristol Technical Education Center. At BTEC, we prepare secondary and post-secondary students on a variety of technical trades. Through work-based learning opportunities and in collaboration with many local and state industries, our apprentices graduate with the necessary trade credentials and work skills to support the everchanging technical workforce of Connecticut. Our Vision of the Graduate promotes problem solving skills, respect, critical thinking, effective communication, social skills and work readiness. Innovation and alignment with industry skill standards helps our students learn the latest technical trends and technologies used by future employers.

Furthermore, we believe that every student can reach his/her maximum learning potential, provided we create an instructional environment that celebrates diversity and equity, is safe, caring, and respectful. Promoting social norms, community values, work ethics, and clear high expectations, drives every initiative designed to help students develop their employability skills.

BTEC has an outstanding record, when it comes to preparing graduates to meet and exceed trade requirements for technical career advancement. We are excited about being one of the best schools in the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System (CTECS) School District and look forward to meeting all your technical education needs. Please contact our school counselor to learn more about our amazing technical education programs.

Sincerely,

Eric Hilversum
Principal
