Welcome to my web page. My name is Scott Phair and I am the Director of the Capital Area Technical Center in Augusta Maine. Career and Technical Education (formerly known as Vocational Education) is an important and viable alternative to traditional high school for many students. Our students use the latest technology to build homes, repair automobiles, design houses and discover new forms of bacteria, to mention just a few activities that are a daily part of our programs. We do real work for real people, preparing our students for real careers.

I hope you will take the time to explore our web site. Inquiry and discovery are two of the most important elements of learning at our school. We offer rigorous and relevant courses of study based on state and national skill standards. If you think nursing, law enforcement, culinary arts, childcare or careers in digital media  are in your future, you’ve found the right place to begin that journey.
