ABOUT OCVTS The Ocean County Vocational Technical School offers career majors in over 30 areas for students going on to college or directly to the world of work. OCVTS works hand-in-hand with sending schools to provide a complete education for high school students. Students may attend during their junior and senior year, as well as post graduate. The students attend “home school” for half a day and are transported to the vocational center for the other half. Ties are maintained with the home school, where they pursue academic classes, take part in sports or other extracurricular activities, and graduate. School counseling services are jointly provided by the vocational school and the home district. Students receive a certificate from OCVTS, as well as a high school diploma from their home school.
