Sussex County Technical School (SCTS) held an open house January 25-26 2012 for prospective students. The Wednesday open house was held in the morning and an evening open house on Thursday. The school established in 1969 is a technical public high school. Sussex County Technical School is located in Sparta, N.J. The two events are known as the WOW Factor and the SCTS staff hope to wow the crowd into enrolling to participate in the September 2012 school term. Sussex tech is one of the few area schools that has witnessed an increase in enrollment despite the economic downturn in recent years.
Sussex County Technical School prepares high school students for success in the workplace. Seasoned school instructors teach the fundamentals of various trades and disciplines to students. Cosmetology, commercial art and information technology (IT) are among the trades offered along with general high school programs of study. Students can earn college credits as they learn and can participate in internships with Sussex area businesses. Sussex County Technical School is open to all qualified Sussex County high school students and time shares are allowed so students can attend the high school in their town at the same time as they attend SCTS.
Sussex County Technical School also offers a full range of athletic programs for male and female athletes with opportunities for all students. Football and soccer are among the sports programs. The school is a member in the New Jersey Vocational Technical Athletic Conference and abides by the rules of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.
During the open house events prospective students and their parents got the chance to tour Sussex Tech and meet the staff. Students already attending SCTS helped with the tours and spoke to interested guests and explained life at the school. Booths and tables were set up with enticing brochures and displays touting a particular course of study. Graduates of Sussex County Technical School have went on to attend 2 year and 4 year colleges and business schools. Sussex County Technical School possesses the latest computer technology including Windows PC's and Mac computers. The school also has state of the art media courses and a fully equipped salon staffed by student hair stylists and makeup artists. The salon is open to the public by appointment only.
One graduate of SCTS is Chef Chad Gasiorek who is now an instructor at the school. Gasiorek attended a well known culinary institute and then worked at different eating establishments before returning to Sussex Tech instructing new generations of future chefs. He has been teaching at the school for 6 years and said "The students in the culinary course have to maintain a certain grade point average to complete the course. This is not an easy course to get into or finish. We have high standards here and we not only cook for the school but culinary students also compete in food contests like the ones on television. We also provide gourmet goods for local Sussex area eateries".
Sussex Tech boasts its own bakery which Chef Gasiorek claims can stand alongside any other bakery in Sussex County. During the open house tour culinary students decked out in full chef uniforms were putting together wedding cakes to be entered in an upcoming state food competition. Like the culinary program other courses have partnerships with local businesses to give students real world work experience before they become adults. Many graduates of SCTS have gone on to successful careers in many fields. For more information about the Sussex County Technical School visit the school website at http://www.sussex.tec.nj.us/

Leslie Lutz came up with a new idea. Feeling like her calling in life is in helping others she is planning a Souper Bowl Week. During the week of January 28th to Feburary 5th the Calico Rose Cafe will be giving 25% of proceeds to The Harvest House. You pick your favorite ceramic bowl and they will fix it with a whopping 16 oz. of the soup of your choice. The soups are homemade daily. Lutz was quoted saying "You get the most when you give" and that "We creat memories" The 138 year old home recieved its historical marker a year and a half ago. They are the 3rd owner and have been there for 27 years. Aside from the Merry Fo Round part of the house where you can purchase hand crafted items, The Calico Rose Cafe serves fresh soup and sandwiches daily and hosts parties as well. It is located at 19 Rt. 23 in Hamburg, N.J. Come share in the giving and enjoy some homemade soup while supporting the local Harvest House.
