Overview

Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is a national initiative to prepare high school students for a future in the exciting and ever-changing world of Technology and Engineering Technologies. PLTW is currently being offered in over 5,000 schools in all 50 states across the USA.

When you take a PLTW class you will not only be working with hundreds of Lancaster classmates, you will be working with tens of thousands of classmates across the United States. So sign up today for your first Project Lead The Way class, and take a step in the right direction for your future! See your Counselor today.

PLTW as an Academy

PLTW is recognized as an academy and requires an application for continuation in the program. As in the past, you can still take PLTW in tandem with another Academy. Just be aware that this may cause scheduling conflicts, and you will likely sacrifice a lunch period that year.

Applications are done in February and acceptance letters are sent out (via email for PLTW applicants) in early March. Check your school email for your letter at that time and confirm receipt in the email. If accepted, sign up for the next PLTW course with your counselor for the upcoming school year...and start engineering greatness!

Apply to Project Lead the Way

Eighth-grade students may register for PLTW classes.  However, to become part of the PLTW academy, Freshmen must apply in January.  Visit the Academies Home Page for details.
