A Message From the Principal

Greetings, Students, Families, and Future Applicants!
My name is Rachel Turner, and I am honored to lead the innovative and dynamic work happening each day at Hamilton County Collegiate High School, the Mechatronics Academy at Volkswagen, and Polytech Academy.

Our highly qualified staff—along with the exceptional resources and support provided by our partners at Volkswagen and Chattanooga State Community College—offer students a unique opportunity: to earn a high school diploma and college credits at the same time. This dual-enrollment experience gives students a head start on their postsecondary journey while providing early exposure to college life.

Excellence in customer service is one of our core values. We are here to support you every step of the way. Please don’t hesitate to contact our offices with any questions.

We’re looking forward to an amazing 2025–2026 school year!
