School information
editPonitz Career Technology Center was built in 2009 and serves as the city of Dayton's second career center. Ponitz offers career-technical certificates in:
- Arts and Communication including Radio/TV, Sports Marketing, Graphic Design, and Multimedia

- Health and Education including Dental Assisting, Allied Health, Biotechnology, Public Safety, and STEM Academy

Ponitz is also in a strong partnership with Sinclair Community College. Upon completion of their career community programs students are eligible for a $3000 scholarship to use for tuition, books and fees at Sinclair Community College. As well as college credits that were earned while in high school. Because Ponitz is a Career Center and not a typical high school, there can be a different experience than that associated with high schools. But with sports, and music the high school experience is still available.[3]
The district-owned FM radio station WDPS broadcasts from studios at Ponitz Career Technology Center.
