High school students can attend programs if they are on track to graduate with their class at their high school and if they meet the minimum requirements for the program they apply to.

Minimum requirements might vary based on program. Meet with your Tech Rep to learn more.

MNTC is a school of choice, and our career programs are competitive. High school juniors and seniors from Norman and Moore Public Schools fill out applications for our programs each year, but with limited class sizes, seating every applicant is a challenge. Because of this, it's important to know that not every student who applies is accepted, even if they meet the qualifications. Testing for reading and math skills may also be required, based on program requirements.

Students who submit their application after the priority deadline may be contacted if there is space available.  If the program that you applied to is full, you will be notified and encouraged to apply again in the next application cycle. 

How will you contact me? You will be contacted by a staff member on the high school interview team. Tech Reps will schedule interviews at your high school during the months of January-February. Your high school counselor will have specific dates available related to your school. If you are sick or plan to be absent from school during the scheduled week of interviews, please contact your Tech Rep to reschedule.

The interview is a way for our interview team to get to know you and to better understand if the program to which you applied is right for you. This is not a high pressure environment and we want you to feel confident during this process. Please be prepared to talk about your interest in the program, your work ethic and any related experience you may have. Remember, we are on your team, so don’t stress!

Students who applied by the priority deadline will be notified on their placement in the program near the end of March. You will be emailed a letter of acceptance, alternate list or encouraged to apply again next year. Please ensure we have the correct email address on file and please DO NOT use your school email address. Be sure to check all folders as this email can sometimes be found in junk/spam folders. 

You can do concurrent enrollment and MNTC at the same time. However, it is best to speak with your high school counselor to ensure you will stay on track to graduate and meet your academic and career goals without overwhelming yourself. 

High school students do not pay tuition if they are attending while they are in high school. Most supplies needed for your program will also be provided but any dress code requirements will be your financial responsibility. Please refer to the program cost sheets located on the website of every program for more information.

Graduates of Norman or Moore Public Schools can also attend tuition free through the Tuition Assistance program. Please contact Financial Aid for more information on this process. 

Yes! We have many students who participate in sports & other activities that attend MNTC. Most schools schedule athletics during the last class period of the day so, it is likely that you will need to be placed in a morning class so as to not interfere with practice. Please speak with your high school counselor for more details.

Absolutely! Our goal is to place 100% of our students in the career they have trained in or to see those students attend college. Our Career Connection Specialist can help you get started on the job application process.
