Community

The Center for Technology, Essex has long been a community fixture. Our plant sales, cosmetology specials, and weekly dining options have been enjoyed by many.  Connecting to the community is at the core of the school's mission.  Community connections make for great experiences for the students.

We are especially proud of our annual Community Appreciation Days held for Senior Citizens.  This first event of the year is a chance for students to show their skills by providing vehicle maintenance, photo restoration, blood pressure testing, games and a great lunch. 

In addition to the fabulous CTE Bakery and Cafe, we are proud to offer automotive and cosmetology services to the community.
