With a spacious new addition opened in 2005, Queens Vocational and Technical High School provides new laboratories and workshops for courses that prepare students for careers as plumbers, electricians, computer technicians, graphic artists and cosmetologists. The building is clean, calm, and safe. The shop classes are the pride of the school; academic classes, however, lack the hands-on learning that marks the technical classes.
