Hey everyone,
Does anyone know where I can find pictures of the remodel they did to Hutch Tech? I graduated from there and I heard it looks amazing. I have looked with no success.
I personally hate the new building, they took the personality away from it and turned it into a building that can be used as just a school (instead of a vocational school). no school colors anywhere, no mechanical labs, nothing. turned it into a "below average" suburb school.

Buffalo destroyed ALL the Voc Ed schools. Somewhere, someone stuck it into the itty bitty brains of the school baord that voc ed was a bad thing.... Emerson's food program is left and McKinley exists, but the rest of the Voc Ed -- once the top in the nation and the gems of the city schools ( we are talking from 1930s to early 1960s here, kids) -- well, give it another 10 years and for lack of foresight, we will be just like down south or out west: no people to do cars, electrical, phone, or plumbing or any other good paying blue collar job.
Blame it on the Board of Ed. It has been going on for years.

(My husband went to a Buffalo Voc Ed HS!!!)
What about Seneca(Voc-Tech), Burgard(Voc-Tech) and the Riverside Institute of Technology?

Seneca is going to be a grade school.
They want Burgard for the Service Center ( it has a ramp going up and down the 5 floors which was for the auto program.) Hasn't occurred yet. Riverside "Ins. of Tech" is, I believe, computers. That is not Voc. Ed. to anyone with a Voc. Ed background. It is basically academic.

I remember foundry class at Hutch Tech in the middle 60's---we made a horse shoe or some other useless trinket. Even back then computers were beginning to make inroads into business and manufacturing. How relevant was that? As fas as the lessons of life, I learned more cutting class and sitting in the diner across Chippewa St. No, not Deweys, that's where the teachers always checked, but the little one in the basement of the Roanoke Hotel.
