HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut's 10,000-student technical high school system is getting a new leader.
The state Board of Education this month appointed Pat Ciccone as superintendent of the Connecticut Technical High School System.
Ciccone has been interim superintendent for the last seven months.
Ciccone is a past principal of Windham Tech in Willimantic and also was assistant principal of Ellis Tech in Danielson.
The system has 16 degree-granting technical high schools statewide and one technical education center, serving about 10,200 full-time high school students and about 5,500 part-time adult students.
About 45 percent of the high school system's graduates go to college and about 50 percent go to jobs, apprenticeships or the military.
