Technical schools teach a trade or occupation rather than just a theory. They are concerned with providing training for a specific skill often on machines and equipment. Some technical schools train for a single job or industry, while others offer programs for many different occupations. Kewaskum High School students reside in the Moraine Park Region of the Wisconsin Technical College System. Moraine Park Technical College offers many programs including Nursing, Electrical Power Distribution, Tool Design Engineering Technology, and Radiography.

The classroom environment is similar to that of the workplace; professional behavior and specific rules of conduct are followed. Some technical schools offer certificates instead of degrees, while others afford the opportunity to go on to college or other schooling upon completion. Most programs are for two years or less. The cost to attend a technical school is much lower than for 2- or 4-year colleges, although the student must purchase most class materials and tools, as programs require.
