Central Montco Technical High School has been awarded a generous $25,000 grant from the American Water Charitable Foundation
We are thrilled to share exciting news! Central Montco Technical High School (CMTHS) has been awarded a generous $25,000 grant from the American Water Charitable Foundation. This incredible support will enable us to purchase an advanced aquaponics system for our Landscape, Design, and Construction program.
Aquaponics is a cutting-edge, sustainable food production method that integrates aquaculture (raising fish) with hydroponics (soilless plant cultivation). In this system, fish waste provides essential nutrients for plants, while plants naturally filter and clean the water for the fish, creating a continuous, eco-friendly cycle. This innovative approach eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides commonly used in traditional agriculture.
Instructor Mrs. Trocheck and Assistant Mr. Hughes, and their students, are excited to bring this project to life, offering students hands-on experience with sustainable practices and valuable industry skills. All produce grown through the aquaponics system will benefit our Culinary Arts and Baking & Pastry Arts programs and support local food banks.
At CMTHS, partnerships like this make it possible to provide transformative opportunities for our students. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the American Water Charitable Foundation for their commitment to education and sustainability. Your support empowers our students to excel in the fields they love and prepares them for a bright future.
We look forward to John Kelemen and Tom Chiomento from American Water to return in the near future to see the new aquaponics system completed and running.

April 2022
CMTHS was awarded $75,000 from the 2021-2022 Pennsylvania Supplemental Equipment Grant. This non-matching grant gives Career and Technical Centers like CMTHS the opportunity to purchase equipment for their industry programs. CMTHS will purchase a Rational Double Deck 6 Pan Full Size Natural Gas Cambi Oven with Stand for the Culinary Arts program, and a Nursing Anne Simulator full-body manikin with articulation arms and legs for the Health Care Academy programs.
The Milwaukee Tool Company donated $3,500 worth of Milwaukee new tools to the CMTHS Building Trades program. Tools such as drywall cut-out tools, drill impact combo kits, drywall screw guns, jigsaw kits, oscillating multi tool kits, 4-in-1 drills, faucets, and N95 masks. Representatives from the company also came out and demonstrated these tools and instructed the students on their proper usage and safety guidelines.
Since the beginning of this 2021-2022 school year, our Collision Repair program has received over $16,000 in tool and equipment donations from local and national vendors such as 3M, PPG, and Colours Paint Supply. The Collision industry is very supportive of our Collision program, and we look forward to their continued support.
