One frequent question we receive concerns the notification of individuals who may have been in contact with a student or staff member who has tested positive for COVID-19. To protect the privacy of individuals who have tested positive, we are not permitted to release any information that could publicly identify them. Our COVID return plan follows the specific guidelines created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to operate a school during this time. The CDC defines a contact as: Someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to test specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated. With the Lawrence County Health Department's cooperation, we immediately begin a case investigation and contact tracing once we are made aware that an individual who was in our building has tested positive. This proces

The safety of our students and staff is always a priority at Collins Career Technical Center. Unfortunately, Lawrence County has recently seen a rise in COVID-19 cases that have affected several county school districts. We felt this would be a good time to praise our students and staff and remind parents of the steps we have been following to contain the virus’s spread. We would also like to take the opportunity to thank the student’s families for their support and patience with the changes we needed to make to help us maintain a safe environment for our students. Finally, we would like to thank our students and staff. We understand that there are many barriers (slow internet, family obligations, academic struggles) that make it challenging to succeed in a virtual learning environment. We feel that frustration, as well. Our teachers continue to adapt to this new teaching style and making the best they can out of this unfortunate situation.

  Attention Chesapeake High School Students and Parents: As you may be aware, Chesapeake-Union High School is transitioning to virtual learning for the next two weeks. We are told the bus routes for CCTC students will be unchanged and you can expect to be picked up and dropped off at your bus stops as usual. There will also be a bus to take you to and from CCTC at your regular times.  Students who drive to CCTC will obviously be unaffected by this change. Virtual learning will also continue as usual.

Schools throughout the state of Ohio have been working on plans for a safe and responsible back-to-school season. Students attend CCTC to develop skills and earn credentials to make them ready to work out of high school or prepare them for success. These are skills that require hands-on experience and are difficult to achieve in a remote learning environment. This is why we have been working with the Lawrence County Health Department, the Lawrence County JVSD Teacher’s Association, and the county’s seven school districts to create a plan. Together we have developed a plan that is adaptive to the current state of the virus and safely allows our students to pursue the career goals at the career center.  Below are some of the highlights of the CCTC high school restart plan. You are encouraged to read the full plan by clicking here . As of this posting, the first day of the school year will be Monday, August 24th Monday, August 31st . Student attendance is based on the county’s status as

Dear Parent or Guardian: We hope you and your student(s) are enjoying your summer!  We look forward to seeing everyone again in the fall!  I know there are many unanswered questions regarding how the upcoming school year will look with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and we will continue to pass the information along to you as plans are made. To ensure that we provide the best quality instruction to all of our students, we are collecting information regarding internet access and a preferred method of instruction. Note: You do not need to complete the paper survey that you received in the mail when you complete this online survey. Click here to complete the survey. Sincerely, Jim Howard, Principal

UPDATED (May 22, 2019): We are no longer accepting photos for the virtual completion ceremony. UPDATED (May 12, 2020): We will be streaming our 2020 Virtual Completion Ceremony on Friday, May 29th at 6:00 pm. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine will have a special message for CCTC graduates. The event will be streamed on our Facebook and YouTube pages as well as on our website . Information on submitting photos can be found in the original post below. The stream will remain on our social media pages indefinitely, but we will provide a link to download the video for those of you who wish to keep your own copy. ORIGINAL (May 4, 2020): The COVID-19 pandemic has forced society to cancel so many events. None of those are more sacred to us than our completion ceremony. We all agree that our students deserve recognition for their accomplishments. Unfortunately, we also have to weigh the risk that a large gathering of people creates during our current crisis. For that reason, we are not able to con

High School Students and Parents, Hello again! We have been thinking about you all and hope you are doing well. You are probably aware of the order Governor DeWine made on Monday. If you are not aware, he stated that Ohio schools will continue to conduct distance learning through the end of this school year. Clearly, there are a lot of unanswered questions about how the remainder of the school year will be handled for high school students here at Collins Career Technical Center. Current School Work We conducted a total of four work exchange events on April 8th and April 9th where students could turn in their completed work and receive their next packet of work. Packets were mailed to students who do not have internet access. Senior work is considered complete with the first packet of work and should not expect a second paper packet. The work drop off box for paper assignments remains open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. It is located at

The TEAS test scheduled for April 20th will be postponed until May. The new testing date will be announced here as well as our social media outlets.

We have suspended all WorkKeys testing until May. You can keep and eye on testing dates on our school calendar . 

As you are probably aware, Governor Dewine has issued an order that keeps Ohio's K-12 schools engaged in distance learning through May 1st. This new timeline would push back our return date to May 4th. It is possible that the Governor may extend that through the remainder of the school year. Our goal, as always, is to provide our students with learning opportunities in a safe environment. Our teachers have been instructed to prepare materials for students to complete during our time away from the school building. Students who have access to the internet will be participating in learning through Google Classroom, CCTC Moodle courses, and a number of other resources that have been communicated to them via their instructor. Students without regular internet access will be able to collect paper learning packets to exchange completed work for new work at four different times and locations. Main Campus Exchange : Wednesday, April 8th, from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. - 7:

Dear Parents/Guardians, The health and safety of everyone in our community is a critical concern of the school districts board, administration, and staff. You have likely been following the news regarding the coronavirus, also call COVID-19, and the confirmed cases in the Unites States. Though the virus most often only causes mild illness and the current overall risk is low, it can still be fatal in some cases. The Collins Career Technical Center is taking the guidance from the Ohio Department of Health (OOH) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) very seriously and following their planning and preparation recommendations. There are a number of preventive measures we all can take to reduce risks of illness and the coronavirus, as recommended by the Ohio Department of Health including: Washing hands for at least 20 seconds, or using hand sanitizer if soap and water are unavailable. Avoiding contact with your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Avoiding contact with p
