McCann Tech To Hold Virtual Open House
McCann Technical School s eighth-grade Showcase for Success will be held virtually this year and potential students will be invited.
Iberkshires.com reportsthat Principal Justin Kratz told the School Committee last Thursday that instead of inviting area eighth-graders to the school for the annual showcase and look at after-school programming, the school s recruitment efforts will be virtual.
Principal Kratz said. It is not our ideal situation. We would like to have students here, But I think this will be a good night and a good event.
This decision to go virtual was made because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Normally, eighth-graders are invited to the annual open house to tour the building, see demonstrations in the various shops and labs, and speak with the high school s students and teachers about the programs in the regional vocational school district.
