All students attending St. Louis County high schools can apply to Tech. County residents who are home schooling or attending private schools are also eligible to apply.

Students planning to attend Tech in the fall of their junior year can begin applying as early as the beginning of their sophomore year. Acceptance rounds begin in late fall and continue throughout the school year.

It is important to apply early because some programs will fill as early as January. Students are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as they have decided they want to attend Tech.

Yes, our Tech majors earn 1.5 high school credits per semester. Most majors offer elective credit, but some also have academic credits incorporated. Both a student’s earned credit and grade are sent to their home high school and included in their transcript and GPA.

Most Tech majors also offer articulated college credit and/or dual college credit opportunities.

After each acceptance round, South Tech will notify students, parents, and sending school counselors if they were accepted. Eligible applications remain in consideration throughout the school year and will be considered during each round. Applications are accepted in order of rubric score.

If a program fills, all remaining eligible applicants are put on a waiting list. Waiting lists will be consulted every time a vacancy arises. Wait list students will continue to be offered spots throughout the summer and into the first few days of the school year.

Students who receive IEP support will have Tech specific support plans developed. These plans help us project our staffing needs and require significant case manager input to ensure student success.

If students choose a full-time MOCAP option, they will not be eligible to participate in the programs offered at Tech. 

If your district is offering a virtual option other than MOCAP which you are considering, please communicate with your high school guidance office to confirm your student can remain enrolled at Tech while using that option. 

Upon successful completion of their current program and recommendation, there are a number of possible outcomes for students. These outcomes include applying to compete for entry in another Career and Technical Education Program or returning to their sending school. Acceptance in a senior program is not guaranteed.

Details about all of our programs are available here on our website, you can view them all here. Or call 314-989-8521 for additional information.
