Eli Whitney Technical High School is located in Hamden, Connecticut. We have almost 600 students from eight towns and enroll grades 9-12 and also offer adult education.

Our 11 technology programs cover careers ranging from graphics and cosmetology to automotive and manufacturing. Our academic program is competitive and comprehensive. Starting in their junior year, students also have the ability to take advantage of our Work-based Learning program, where they can earn credit while working during the school day in their trade.

Student Workforce

Work-Based Learning (WBL) allows a student to work for an employer during their trade instructional time. Students not only receive credit toward their career technology, but also get paid.

CTECS has the unique ability to complete construction jobs off-campus, on both residential homes and commercial properties.

We offer a wide range of services to the public at a fraction of the market price. Providing students with real projects for real customers here in Connecticut, and delivering high-quality products to them.
