A. I. Prince Technical High School

What A. I. Prince Technical High School does

A.I. Prince Technical High School is a public technical high school located at 401 Flatbush Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut, operated by the State of Connecticut through the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System (CTECS). It enrolls more than 800 students drawn from 14 to 20 Connecticut municipalities, including Hartford, Manchester, New Britain, West Hartford, Glastonbury, and Enfield, with admissions for grade 9 funneled through the Regional School Choice Office (RSCO) covering Prince Tech alongside Cheney Tech and Goodwin Tech. The school delivers a dual-education model that combines college-preparatory academics with career and technical education across 14 career fields, including Aerospace Component Manufacturing, Automotive Technology, Carpentry, Culinary Arts, Electrical, Information Technology, Masonry, Plumbing and Heating, Digital Media, Graphic Design, Health Technology, Hairdressing and Cosmetology, Architecture, and Criminal Justice and Protective Services. Programs are anchored on a $72 million renovated campus outfitted with industry-standard equipment, including Industry 4.0 capabilities such as CNC programming, 3D printing, robotics, and Mastercam CAM in aerospace manufacturing, plus student-operated venues like the Rising Star Cafe.

The school operates a Student Workforce initiative providing Work-Based Learning placements with regional employers including United Cabinets, KOMA Precision, Hartford Toyota Superstore, Gengras Ford, and Eversource, alongside on-campus services to the public (automotive repair, culinary, hairdressing) and off-campus construction projects for residential and commercial customers. An Adult Education and Apprenticeship program, fully approved by the State of Connecticut Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship Training, delivers related instruction hours for licensed trades including Electrical, Barbering, Hairdressing, Heating/Cooling, Plumbing, and Sheet Metal, with tuition of $325 in-person and $370 online plus a $50 non-refundable registration and technology fee per course. Complementary partnerships include an on-campus School-Based Health Center operated with Charter Oak Health Center, UCONN Early College Experience credit pathways, and SkillsUSA student leadership.

Revenue mechanics are atypical for a commercial enterprise: primary funding flows from Connecticut state appropriations with no tuition charged to resident students in grades 9-12, while adult education generates modest tuition-based recurring revenue and on-campus student services contribute incremental fee-based income. The institution holds Marzano High Reliability Schools Level 1 Certification (2021), has won the CIAC Michael Achievement Award nine times for athletics, and was featured in Forbes Magazine in December 2023 for its culinary program, reflecting sustained brand credibility within the Connecticut CTE market.
