Cascadia Tech Academy Newsletter
December 22, 2025
From Our Director
As we approach Winter Break, I want to take a moment to be thankful for the privilege of leading Cascadia Technical Academy. As a Skills Center student in the 1980s, I appreciate the incredible value of the training our dedicated instructors provide to our current students. I encourage readers to check out our student-operated businesses and see the amazing work our students are doing. More information is available below. Wishing everyone a joyous Holiday Season!
We are doing great things!

We NEED your help! Support Cascadia Tech Students!
Cascadia Technical Academy helps high school students across Southwest Washington build their future careers. Because the school doesn’t receive bond or levy funds, Cascadia Technical Academy Foundation (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit) raises money to provide essential equipment, scholarships, and emergency support for our students.
Our biggest fundraiser of the year—the ASPIRE Gala—will be held May 2, 2026, at ilani Casino Resort. We need your help securing exciting items for our Silent and Live Auctions!
