Three years ago, Patrick Reed was hired to be the head of high school’s Drafting Department. This year, two sections of Gaming and Design have been added to the department, which originally included four classes of Drafting, Design, and Technology (DDT).

“DDT numbers are up,” Reed said.

With elective choices limited, students must choose their classes wisely.

“Because of all the requirements from the school and my parents, I have had to make decisions about my future,” Sarah Kautzmann ’11 said. Kautzmann is an aspiring forensic scientist currently enrolled in the Genetics and Forensics class.

As the economy remains in fragile condition, students are taking more career-oriented classes to gain experience in the workforce. For students interested in engineering and architecture, DDT offers them an opportunity to develop the skills that are needed in these fields.
