Every year, several students who take career and tech education classes are chosen to take the annual Connecticut Career and Technical Education assessments, commonly known as “The Perkins test.” The name is actually misconceived by many but has been part of NCHS ever since the program started.
Department head, Jim Zambarano, has been part of the program for the past eight years. “The test has always been part of New Canaan High School ever since I’ve joined, but last year was the first year students can take the test online.”
