WINDHAM — Families considering technical high school for the 2027–28 school year can visit Windham Technical High School on Thursday, November 5, at 4:30 p.m., before the next application window opens.
The school’s current admissions page invites prospective students to tour its shops and classrooms, meet staff and explore its programs. The campus is at 210 Birch Street in Willimantic.
Applications open November 15, and January 25 is the listed deadline for rising ninth-graders seeking on-time lottery consideration. The school says a completed application does not guarantee a seat: placement depends on capacity and the computer-based lottery process.
Connecticut eighth-graders who expect to complete that grade may apply for fall ninth-grade admission. The school advises families to review the trades offered, speak with their current school counselor and check transportation eligibility with their home district.
The application requires a student-created interest video or written statement. The school lists a one- to three-minute video or a statement shorter than 800 characters, explaining the student’s interest in technical education, preferred trade and goals. Applicants must submit the completed application to be considered.
Applications received after January 25 enter the late process; the admissions page says no new incoming ninth-grade applications will be accepted after March 1. Families should use the linked school instructions for the full placement rules and any revisions. Windham’s admissions contact is listed as Laura Jones at 860-456-3879, extension 24314.
