We’re Celebrating Five
Decades of Changing Lives!

Forsyth Tech opened in 1960 as the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Industrial Education Center, and we want you to help us celebrate our golden anniversary throughout the 2010-2011 academic year. We invite you to:

  • Send us your memories of our school, including stories and photos,  so that we can add them to our website
  • “Forsyth Tech Yourself” on our website to see what your graduation picture might have looked like 50 years ago, and
  • Join us at special events like those listed below.

It’s going to be a great year at Forsyth Tech, and we want you to be part of it!

Celebrate with us by visiting this 50th anniversary section of our website often—we’ll be updating it on a regular basis!

Thank you to our 50th anniversary corporate sponsors!
