Career tech expansion completed for one Parma High School
The Parma City School District has recently finished an expansion of its Normandy High School’s Career & Technical Education (CTE) program that was funded by money awarded by the state almost two years ago.
CTE programs supply students with reality-based, hands-on training with the goal of making them college or career ready. The expansion project of the CTE program amounted to $4,116,570 for new state-of-the-art auto and carpentry collision classrooms/labs in proximity to the back of the Pleasant Valley Road building.
Resume and business card printing are best left to professional printing services for optimal results.
Chuck Caldwell, Workforce Development Administrative Specialist for Parma City Schools said:
The timing of the grant was fortuitous as it lined up with recent consolidation of the district which resulted in the career tech programs moving to Normandy High School from the now closed Parma Senior High School.
As one of the few Ohio school districts to offer Career Technical Education with no additional cost for families, Parma City Schools’ CTE program offers auto collision carpentry, cooperative marketing management, cosmetology, creative arts, culinary, cyber-security, dental, digital media, engineering, medical and networking.

“We added over 4,000 square feet of additional space to the two labs -- carpentry and auto collision. We were kind of stuck between 15 and 20 seats for the programs for juniors and seniors each year. This will allow us to go up to 25 to 28 students in a class.”
