Perth Amboy Magnet School

[5][6] According to past yearbooks, girls started attending the old Perth Amboy campus around the years 1974-1975.

Subjects that were studied were machine shops practice, mechanical drawing, mathematics, science, English and civics.

The school at one point held over 400 students and eventually needed to be expanded in order to accommodate more.

The new building allowed expanded programs in the school and Middlesex County College is also located in the facility.

Some of the shops consist of carpentry, electrical trades, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).

The two remaining shops to conclude this series are auto mechanics technology and culinary arts.

Here the students will learn the maintenance and basic repair of vehicles and grow accustomed to the work space of a busy restaurant environment.

The building also includes computer rooms in between classrooms to provide students with easy access to the internet in case of class activities or research.

Having both the high school and college share the same building enables students to see life after graduation.

Perth Amboy Tech offers courses in the following industrial arts: The Perth Amboy Tech Patriots[2] compete in the Greater Middlesex Conference, which operates under the supervision of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).
