The High School Tech Production site was founded in the mid 1990’s to show the work of my unsung hero backstage crew students. Many pages are snapshots of project process while other pages are more refince. Several pages are direct contributions from students themselves and we have a bunch offered up by seasoned professionals who like to help guide future designers and technicians.
New pages have been posted over the years and we hope to go back and update older ones. We welcome contributions should you be interested in getting involved.
The site has been completely revamped in 2020 using WordPress and we are still making updates to layout and navigation.
We have a lot of pages on our site. Each box below shows just two of each in the various areas. Click on the headers to open each category.
