Harford Technical High School


Harford Technical High School (HTHS) is a four-year vocational/technical public high school in Bel Air in Harford County, Maryland, United States. The school is located near the center of the county across the street from Harford Community College and next to the John Archer School.

The school was opened in 1978 as a vocational and technical school. Students must apply for admission into the school. Once entering the school, the students focus on a trade from one of the following: construction, manufacturing, automotives, health occupations, food preparation, cosmetology, agri-business and animal science, communications, floral design, landscape architecture and management, or printing and graphic arts.

The school has changed its name since the school was founded. It was once called Harford Vocation Technical High School or Harford VoTech.
