Welding Program Requirements

Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a new addition to the curriculum and educational opportunities at Father Judge High School. This highly competitive program has a detailed and rigorous application process that must be followed in order to qualify for the program. On top of the application process, the academic, discipline, and attendance requirements are different than other programs that the school offers. The goal of all our CTE programs is to grant our graduates the certifications, mental fortitude, and driven attitude needed for a successful transition into the workforce directly after graduation. Please note that only current Freshmen may apply for acceptance into the Welding Program due to the rigorous and extensive time requirement for the certification process.
