'''Howell Cheney Technical High School''' (previously '''Manchester Trade School'''), or '''Cheney Tech''', is a [[vocational school|technical]] [[high school]] in [[Manchester, Connecticut]]. It was established in 1915 by [[Howell Cheney]] as a [[textile]] school, in order to provide training for those wishing to work at the local [[silk]] mills. It receives students from many nearby towns. Cheney Tech is part of the [[Connecticut Technical High School System|Connecticut Technical Education and Career System]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Howell Cheney established a textile school on Hartford Road in 1912 in order to train prospective employees of the local Cheney Silk Mills.<br />
<br />
In 1915, the school moved into the nearby Franklin Building. With the extra room gained, several subjects were added to the curriculum, including [[carpentry]] and mechanical drafting. The State Department of Education also encompassed the school in this year, causing it to be renamed the Manchester Trade School.<br />
<br />
The school changed its name again in 1943 to Howell Cheney Regional Vocational-Technical School, in honor of the founder. In 1946 it introduced a new education system, as well as merging with [[Manchester High School (Connecticut)|Manchester High School]]. The merger was designed to incorporate the entire curriculum between the two schools, allowing their students a wider education. The program lasted only eight years, as Cheney Tech later offered the entire curriculum of both schools.<br />
<br />
After [[World War II]], student enrollment increased, bringing the construction of a new school. The West Middle Turnpike campus was opened in 1962, offering a new program of trades such as [[automotive]] technology, tool and die making, and industrial electronics. In 1982 the second floor, now known as the academic wing, was added for more classroom space, and an extra wing was added to the shops.<br />
<br />
New trades added to curriculum after that were [[HVAC|H-VAC]], [[welding]], and [[diesel engine|diesel]] mechanics. At the beginning of the 1990s, [[microcomputer]] [[software]] technology and [[culinary]] arts were added to the trade program, while 2006 brought the end to the electronics program.<br />
<br />
In February 2005, a $45 million expansion/renovation project was begun, to include a new three-story shop wing including a larger expanded [[art]] room and three learning labs; the new culinary arts [[kitchen]], [[bakery]], and public [[restaurant]]; and new academic classrooms, [[gym]], locker rooms, fitness center administration/guidance/support services, and athletic fields. The new facilities opened in time for the start of the 2007-2008 school year.<br />
<br />
The computer-aided drafting and design program will soon be making a cooperative program with [[Hamilton Sundstrand]], a division of the [[United Technologies Corporation]]. The program includes potential CWE options for students in drafting technology.<br />
