I am a Class of 2003 graduate of Hodgson and my experience was great.I don't think I would've wanted to attend another high school in Delaware.

I have found Hodgson Vo-tech to have a wonderful home /school working relationship. The staff truely works hard to see thier students succeed both in and out of the classroom.
