Franklin County Career & Technology Center
The Franklin County Career and Technology Center (FCCTC) is located just off of Route 11 south of Chambersburg at 2463 Loop Road and is open to high school students grades 10 -12 enrolled at the Chambersburg Area School District and interested adults living in the Greater Chambersburg area. The school acts as a vital component serving the workforce development needs of Franklin County and beyond.
High School Students from the Chambersburg area may enroll in any of 22 different trade areas of specialization existing within the five general “Academies” identified below. All programs are tied to a number of “high priority occupations” that have been identified in our area. Chambersburg students may be required to attend the Chambersburg Magnet School, located on the campus of the FCCTC, rather than the Chambersburg High School, if they are interested in enrolling in FCCTC programs. Students are encouraged to talk to their Guidance Counselor to get more information.
