2   McFATTER TECHNICAL COLLEGE & TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL • WINTER/SPRING SCHEDULE | 2020

                 Opened in 1985 with the addition of the Hospitality Building in
                 1996 and the Technical High School in 1998, McFatter Technical
                 College operates on a $26 million complex on 24 acres at the
                 corner of Davie Road and Nova Drive, in the Town of Davie,
                 Florida.

                 A major event occured on June 24, 2014, when the School
                 Board of Broward County officially changed our name to
                 McFatter Technical College. Hence, a new era in career, technical
                 and adult education was launched.

                 McFatter Technical College was established as an area post-
                 secondary technical college of the School Board of Broward
                 County, Florida to offer technical education to both adults and
                 secondary students in over forty program areas. In addition,
                 McFatter holds membership, partnership or affiliation with over
                 fifteen local, state and national organizations.

                 Industry-validated curriculum, complemented by state-of-the-
                 art laboratories and equipment were designed to meet current
                 and future employment needs of South Florida business and
                 industry. The curriculum and specialized practical laboratory
                 experiences have enabled students to acquire, refine and upgrade
                 occupational skills on a full-time or part-time basis in day and
                 evening classes, distance, hybrid or face-to-face delivery.
