Philosophy
The Academy of Construction Technologies (ACT), a partnership between the Seminole County School Board and Central Florida construction industry contractors and trade associations, was instituted to develop a well-trained workforce in the construction industry by integrating academics and a paid work-site experience — offering students the opportunity to begin a rewarding career while in high school.
Facilities and Resources
Academic, lab and on-the-job training for ACT is conducted at Seminole State College’s state-of-the-art facilities. All other, traditional high school classes are held at the student’s home school.
