Fashion shows displaying fashion students' creations are a regular feature.
Programs, brochures, and faculty business cards are prepared by printing students. A car repair shop is serviced by automotive students. Students at Trade-Tech represent all age groups and ethnic backgrounds. The Associated Student Organization invites students to participate in student government and join a variety of clubs and organizations.
