Advanced
Technology Center
The
Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center is an off-campus
facility that offers technical classes in Computer
Technology and industry-specific career training.
The ATC is located at 34th and Avenue Q, across the
street from O.L.Slaton Junior High School. Any student
may schedule a class at the ATC. Students may drive
to their ATC class, but bus transportation is also
provided.
Students
desiring to schedule classes at the ATC should see
Mrs. Silvas, Career Counselor.
The
classes offered at the ATC are:
| Pre-employment
labs: |
| Automotive
Technology, Building Trades,
Metal Trades, Electrical Apprenticeship, and
Trade and Industrial Career Prep. These classes are two
or three credits and meet every day. |
| Computer
Technology classes |
|
Digital Graphics and Animation, Multimedia,
Desktop Publishing, Networking, 3D Computer
Graphics, Computer Technology and Video
Technology. |
|
Attendance
is extremely important for classes at the ATC. Because
of the technical nature of these courses, work missed
because of absences cannot be made up. Students who
miss an ATC class more than three times may be dropped
from that class.
At
certain times during the year (the first day of each
semester, TAKS days, final exam days, etc.) a modified
schedule will be run at Lubbock High School, making
it impossible for students to attend their class at
the ATC. On those days, all ATC students will come
to the Career Center at Lubbock High, sign an attendance
sheet, and be dismissed. Students are not allowed
in the hallways but should exit the building and remain
outside or report to the cafeteria until the next
bell. All students must sign in at the Career Center
on those days. Students who do not sign in will be
counted absent.
Students
who miss their class at the ATC because of car trouble,
missing the bus, or other extenuating circumstances
should report directly to Mrs. Silvas.
