UConn has valedictorian and salutatorian scholarships for all high schools in the state.
That being said, you don't need to be one of those spots to go to UConn from a tech school. I wasn't and got a partial scholarship to UConn, a full ride to University of Hartford, and a full ride to Three Rivers Community College.

Went to Ellis tech in Danielson (I know not Hartford, but all the tech schools are the same system) about a decade ago. I would definitely say you would get out of your shop what you put into it. If you just wanted to skate by doing the minimum you could, same with the academic side. With that said, people who try and are good at the shop work are typically recognized by shop teachers who would do their best in getting them in contact with local businesses to have them hired.
I do stand by the fact that being in shop helps develop skills that help post education. We would get assigned a list of things that we had to complete by the end of our current shop set, have a bigger project that would have to be done in a couple of sets, have schedule theory lessons and tests. We would have to ensure that we'd be able to make sure we could be self productive and prioritize our time to make sure we would get our work done .
When it comes to the end of junior and senior year, the school did not put as much focus on having to go to college as other schools do. But with that said, college is still an option for anyone going through a tech high school.
I have still kept in touch with my shop teachers post high school and have heard that a lot has changed and more and more of the shop time has been taken away for academic learning.
I know my parents were upset when I said I wanted to go to a tech high school, but I have had no regrets about it since then and they won't admit that they were upset about it either.

I remember doing D-box seats back when the original Avengers came out in Lisbon but I wouldn't say that's worth doing.
