From Our Director
As we head towards the second half of the school year, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has helped the first semester be a great one. From staff, students, parents, and community partners, I appreciate you all.
I’m looking forward to the months ahead to watch our students continue to learn technical and professionalism skills in their program areas. Our students can accomplish anything they put their minds to.
Cascadia Tech staff are all working hard to ensure our students are college and career-ready, with industry certifications in hand, by June. It is our mission to encourage and support student success in each program. Enjoy this edition of our newsletter!
We are doing great things!

Our Cascadia Tech Chapter of FBLA participated in the FBLA Winter Leadership Conference competitions at LCC in Longview, where they demonstrated their business and leadership skills.
We are incredibly proud to announce that our students not only participated but truly excelled. A total of 26 students competed in 22 technical, business, and leadership contests. As a result of their hard work and talent, they earned 5 first-place medals, and 22 students brought home an impressive combined total of 48 awards.
