The Lynde and Harry Bradley Technology and Trade School (also known as Bradley Tech) is a high school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, North America. Located in the Walker's Point neighborhood, Bradley Tech is the primary high school for technology and trade education in the Milwaukee Public Schools. The school offers a range of scholastic options, including college preparatory, tech/trade education, and apprenticeships.
Bradley Tech has three "Academies of Learning", each of which specialize in a different area of technology or trade: Manufacturing; Architecture/Construction; and Design. Bradley Tech also offers extracurricular activities.
The school was founded in 1906 as Boys Trade and Technical High School. On July 1, 1907, Tech became part of the Milwaukee public school system. This was the first time in history trades were being taught in a public school. Prior to this, trades were only learned by methods such as apprenticeships, from fathers, or by trial and error. Boys Tech was at one time the largest high school in Wisconsin, with an enrollment of 2900 pupils.
In 1975, Boys Technical High School changed its name to "Milwaukee Trade and Technical High School", to recognize that girls could now enroll in the school.
In 2002, the school's name was changed to Lynde and Harry Bradley Technology and Trade School following a donation by Jane Pettit, widow of Lloyd Pettit. Renovations to the school, including a new main building directly south of the old building, were completed in 2002 and in 2006, the original Boys Technical High School building was removed. The area was converted to an athletic field.
Bradley Tech has three "Academies of Learning", each of which specialize in a different area of technology or trade: Manufacturing; Architecture/Construction; and Design. Honors Level and Advanced Placement (AP) courses are also offered. Students who attend Bradley Tech have the support of local pre-college programs such as Diversity Scholars, My Life! My Plan!, Lead to Succeed, and Upward Bound.
Bradley Tech's manufacturing program includes courses in computer-integrated manufacturing, molding and casting processes, welding, metal fabrication, CNC processes and rapid prototyping in cutting edge labs. A wide-array of Project Lead the Way courses are also offered to students.
