EVIT - Marcos De Niza High School

The East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT) program located at the Marcos de Niza High School campus in Tempe is a specialized career and technical education (CTE) satellite center. Designed to supplement traditional high school education, this program allows students to gain hands-on training in high-demand, high-skill industries while simultaneously earning elective credit toward their high school diploma. By integrating vocational training into the daily school schedule, the program provides students with a head start on their professional lives, offering industry-standard equipment and curriculum that mirrors real-world workplace environments.

The partnership between EVIT and the Tempe Union High School District is specifically structured to bridge the gap between secondary education and career or post-secondary readiness. Students attending the Marcos de Niza site benefit from a focused learning environment that emphasizes technical proficiency, professional soft skills, and industry certifications. This program is ideal for students who are looking to graduate with a clear competitive advantage, whether they intend to enter the workforce immediately upon graduation or pursue further technical training and collegiate studies in their chosen field.
