Dr. Roxane Howe - Department Chair

The Business and Technology Department offers electives that benefit all students. Students have the opportunity to explore different areas of the business world while attaining marketable skills in accounting, finance, marketing, management, and computers.

Students can take courses in the Business and Technology Department using two different routes. First, students can pick and choose electives to fill out their schedule. Or, for the serious business-minded student, they can follow one of two pathways in the Business Management & Finance Academy. This academy is targeted for the student who plans to pursue a business degree in college or for the student who will enter the work force after graduation. The academy offers a focus on core business courses, enhancing the traditional course of study. The Business Management & Finance Academy offers work experience opportunities and partnerships with the business community to enrich the curriculum.

Another exciting opportunity offered to students through the Business and Technology Department is the chance to compete academically with schools around the country through affiliations with both Business Professionals of America (BPA) and DECA - An International Association of Marketing Students.

The Business Department has established a partnership with the Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union. This partnership allows students in the Business Management and Finance Academy to work in the Lowell High School branch office of the Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union. In this branch, students learn the day-to-day operations of the banking industry while earning high school credit and real world experiences by serving the entire school community. Academy students prepare for the Credit Union course (6333AB) by enrolling in Money & Banking (6331AB) in their Junior or Senior years.
