Who Are We?

ATC is a hub and a leader for technical and career education in the Louis Riel School Division. Students from eight LRSD high schools chose to complete ATC programs in pursuit of their interests and exciting careers. ATC has developed partnerships with the DSFM and Sunrise school divisions to offer programming options to students outside of the LRSD.
