Principal, MCTC

Beginning Monday, August 15, 2022 at 8:00 AM, students can view their 2022-2023 class schedules in two different places. Students and parents can log into HAC (Home Access Center) to view class schedules, including room numbers and teacher names. Additionally, students can log into MyKaty Cloud and select the Student Schedule tile. A concise, easy-to-read schedule will appear, including room numbers and teacher names.

Some of our CTE courses have course fees (Cosmetology I, Cosmetology II, and Culinary Arts). These are now active in Pay N' Go. Please log into your Pay N' Go account, and you should see the course fees associated with your schedule. Add the required fees to your cart and check out.

Students have 3 options to travel to and from Miller Career and Technology Center:

1. Students may take District-provided bus transportation (Specific route information to be shared in future Miller Memo.)
2. Students may drive themselves to and from Miller (See Parking Permit Information below.)
3. Students may be dropped off and picked up (see locations below).

Students who wish to drive to and from Miller are required to have a MCTC Parking Permit displayed in the vehicle and will park in the Rhodes Stadium Lot on the south side. The MCTC Parking Permit request process is open now.

To obtain a Parking Permit please have the following ready-to-go:

• A photo of your driver’s license ready for upload.
• A photo or PDF of your vehicle insurance ready for upload.
• Submit the $10.00 permit fee through Pay N’Go.
• Complete the MCTC Parking Permit request or use QR Code
• The Confirmation Number received through Pay N’Go is required on the Google form

Click on the link below to view the MCTC Traffic Patterns Map, which shows where students will park and what path students will take to exit the parking lot at dismissal.

Students who have already paid the $10.00 parking permit fee through Pay N’ Go and have completed the Google form will be able to pick up their parking permits from the MCTC Front Office reception desk on the following dates and times:

• Wednesday, August 10th from 9:00 -11:00 AM and 1:00 - 3:00 PM
• Monday, August 15th from 1:00 -3:00 PM

Students who are unable to pick up their parking permits on these days will be able to pick them up the first week of school while at Miller.

Student Drop-off in the morning (before 1st period) and mid-day (before 5th period) is located in the front drive of Miller. Please do not wait to pull all the way up to the front door to exit your vehicle. Once in the front drive circle, please exit your vehicle, so traffic can continue to flow.

Student Pick-up in the morning (after 3rd period or after 4th period) and at the end of the day (after 7th period) is located behind MCTC (on the south side). Enter the pick-up line through the Shaw Center parking lot and line up. There is no pick-up in front of the school. It is unsafe to pick-up students in the street. Please follow the traffic pattern procedures as detailed in the MCTC Traffic Patterns Map below (teal arrows = Pick-up). Staff members will be out to direct you.
