	The Dr. Henry A. Stenta Career Development Center The late Dr. Henry A. Stenta, Principal of Howard High School of Technology from 1989-1999, was recognized as an innovative educator and visionary. Through an endowment that he created, a resource center was developed to provide professional development, school-to-work career experiences and postsecondary research opportunities for students. This center, opened in September 1999, is also used for staff in-services, student clubs and organizations activities, PTSA meetings and to host the educational organizations that come to visit Howard High School of Technology. The Dr. Henry A. Stenta Career Development Center has a volunteer Board of Directors, consisting of business industry representatives, educators and family of our late Principal. We are very proud to be the first school in Delaware to have a facility like this and we believe that this will be a model for high schools throughout the nation. The mission of the Dr. Henry A. Stenta Career Development Center is to plan and provide career-focused experiences for all students using the Quest for Quality portfolio program and work-based learning experiences to enhance academic, interpersonal, vocational and technology skills. The Quest for Quality is the Howard High School of Technology's copyrighted student portfolio program which teaches employability skills and documents interpersonal, academic and group interaction skills.
