The term "Area Career and Technical School" refers to the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation designation by the State of Indiana as the principle school facility to provide career and technical education to students in Gibson County, Posey County, Vanderburgh County, Warrick County, and southern Spencer County. Any student from these counties is eligible to apply for admission to any of the Area School Career and Technical Programs if a similar program is not available in his/her home school. There is no charge to the student for this admission. Student applications will be evaluated and students selected for programs based on a scoring rubric adopted by the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation Board of School Trustees in the spring of 2007.
