Q. How do I apply to attend Pike-Lincoln
Tech Center?
A. A representative of Pike-Lincoln visits with all
sophomores at the 7 high schools in Pike and Lincoln Counties every
January. Each school’s unique application process is explained
at that time. In general, if a student is interested in attending
Pike-Lincoln Tech, they should visit with their school’s guidance
counselor. Junior and senior homeschool students should contact
the guidance counselor at the high school in whose district they
reside.
Those adults with a high school diploma, GED or having completed
homeschooling must attend one of our Career
Planning and Admissions Workshops before enrolling. These
are held starting promptly at 1 p.m. on the second Thursday of every
month at Pike-Lincoln and are over at approximately 3 p.m. Click
here for this year’s schedule.
Each applicant will take a series of brief skills assessments and
be informed of our financial aid process. Call or e-mail to register
for the workshop at 573-485-2900, ext. 225 or info@pltc.k12.mo.us
or you may walk in that day.
Prior to acceptance homeschool graduates must take the ACT. All
students taking it should list Pike-Lincoln Tech's school code,
which is 2387, so their scores will be sent directly to us.
NOTE: Those adults interested in the Practical Nursing program
should attend an Admissions Workshop at Pike-Lincoln Tech Center
during the fall or winter (no later than February) to be considered
for March acceptance into the class beginning that July/August
