EVIT - SHEPHERD JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

EVIT - Shepherd Junior High is a public secondary school that is part of the East Valley Institute of Technology (4516) school district, located in Mesa, AZ.

The program located at the Shepherd Junior High campus in Mesa, Arizona, functions as a satellite instructional site for the East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT). While the physical address corresponds to a Mesa Public Schools junior high facility, EVIT utilizes these types of locations to extend their career and technical education (CTE) offerings to students within the district. This partnership allows young learners to access specialized, hands-on training and career-oriented coursework that complements their traditional academic curriculum.

The primary mission of this collaboration is to prepare students for the future by bridging the gap between classroom theory and real-world application. By integrating EVIT’s vocational resources with the Mesa Public Schools environment, students are provided with early exposure to diverse career pathways, potentially earning industry certifications or high school credit toward graduation. This integration helps students develop technical skills and professional mindsets long before they enter the workforce or higher education, serving as a foundational step for those interested in pursuing technical or trade-based careers.
