Thanks to a grant from the Dart Foundation, Atlantic Technical College and Technical High School students enjoy a traditional classroom transformed into an active learning center.
Congratulations to Atlantic Technical College and Technical High School for receiving a $98,700 grant from the Dart Foundation.
