SUN Area Technical Institute is a public, vocational education institution located in New Berlin, Pennsylvania. SUN Area Technical Institute (often shortened to SUN Tech) provides technical education to high school students from five public school districts in a three county region (Snyder County, Union County and Northumberland County), including Lewisburg Area School District, Mifflinburg Area School District, Midd-West School District, Selinsgrove Area School District and Shikellamy School District.[2] SUN Area Technical Institute also provides day and evening adult education for a fee charged to the students.[3]

In 2014, enrollment was reported as 252 pupils in 11th and 12th grades.[4]

The Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit IU16 provides the School with a wide variety of services like specialized education for disabled students and hearing, speech and visual disability services and professional development for staff and faculty.[5]

SUN Area Technical Institute is governed by the SUN Area Technical Institute Joint Operating Committee which is composed of one school board member from each member school district and the Superintendent of Record for the year. On an annually rotating basis, a superintendent from one of the five sending districts also oversees SUN Tech. The school's foundation called SUN Area Career & Technology Education Foundation is overseen by a seven-member board made up of its management team, a local school board representative and several local business owners.[6]
