CREC Medical Professions and Teacher Preparation Academy to Hold Grand Opening
CREC will hold a ribbon cutting Monday, September 15, at the new home for the CREC Medical Professions and Teacher Preparation Academy.
The new school building on Slater Road in New Britain will feature a medical simulation room, specialized laboratories, and a lecture hall that will use technology to support distance learning instruction. The school-based health program and multi-purpose space will allow students at the magnet school to interact with the local community, civic groups, and the business community, exposing them to opportunities they may not have otherwise.
The CREC Medical Professions and Teacher Preparation Academy, which opened in 2011 in a temporary location in Windsor, serves students in grades six through 12. The new building also houses an early childhood program for students in PreK-3 and PreK-4. These classrooms are staffed by certified early childhood teachers and will serve as a learning laboratory for students in the high school’s teacher preparation program.
The new school construction project was managed by CREC’s Construction Division. They work closely with CREC’s Division of Magnet Schools to prepare final homes for the successful magnet schools.
The CREC Medical Professions and Teacher Preparation Academy will hold its ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, September 15, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. at 600 Slater Road in New Britain. Light snacks and beverages will be served, and there will be tours of the school. The event is open to press, but not open to the public.
