NEWTech Prep is in Spokane, WA.
Adam has been interning at Spokane Oral Surgery since February. In this photo, he is pictured with Dr. Freuen. During his internship, Adam has been gaining experience assisting with surgeries, recovery, and advanced technology such as the X-Guide, which supports the precise placement of implants. He has also had the opportunity to work with Dr. Baird, who is not pictured.
When our instructor, Jeannette, visited, Dr. Freuen spoke very highly of Adam and shared how impressed he has been with how quickly Adam learns. He said, “We will definitely take more NEWTech students if they are anything like Adam!” #connectwithnewtech

All of our students had the opportunity to take part in our annual Manners’ Meal—a special event designed to teach the importance of fine dining and proper table etiquette. We hosted two separate events to accommodate both our AM and PM session students, ensuring everyone could participate in this valuable experience.
During the Manners’ Meal, students learned essential dining skills and etiquette that can carry over into real-life situations, including job interviews and professional settings. At CBTECH, we believe that understanding appropriate behavior at the table—and in social settings—can truly make a difference in a student’s confidence and future success.
Both events were beautifully catered by our very own Culinary program. Our talented chefs and students created two unique and delicious menus:
Our AM session students enjoyed a French-inspired breakfast featuring quiche, bacon, French toast topped with raspberry coulis and blueberry syrup, hasselback potatoes, and fresh fruit.
Our PM session students were treated to a Southern-inspired lunch, including pork tenderloin, smothered chicken, mac and cheese, bacon and onion collard greens, buttermilk biscuits, and peach cobbler.
It was truly a special experience, and our students had an amazing time while gaining skills that will benefit them well beyond the classroom.

La semana pasada, todos nuestros estudiantes tuvieron la oportunidad de participar en nuestro evento anual “Manners’ Meal” (Comida de Etiqueta), una experiencia especial diseñada para enseñar la importancia de la buena mesa y la etiqueta al comer. Organizamos dos eventos separados para nuestros estudiantes de las sesiones AM y PM, asegurando que todos pudieran participar en esta valiosa experiencia.
Durante la Comida de Etiqueta, los estudiantes aprendieron habilidades esenciales de comportamiento en la mesa que pueden aplicar en situaciones de la vida real, incluyendo entrevistas de trabajo y entornos profesionales. En CBTECH, creemos que entender el comportamiento adecuado en la mesa—y en la sociedad en general—puede marcar una gran diferencia en la confianza y el éxito futuro de nuestros estudiantes.
Ambos eventos fueron preparados por nuestro propio programa de Artes Culinarias. Nuestros talentosos chefs y estudiantes crearon dos menús únicos y deliciosos:
Nuestros estudiantes de la sesión AM disfrutaron de un desayuno inspirado en la cocina francesa que incluyó quiche, tocino, pan francés con coulis de frambuesa y jarabe de arándano, papas hasselback y fruta fresca.
Los estudiantes de la sesión PM disfrutaron de un almuerzo inspirado en la cocina sureña, con lomo de cerdo, pollo en salsa, macarrones con queso, col rizada con tocino y cebolla, panecillos de suero de leche y pastel de durazno.
Fue una experiencia realmente especial, y nuestros estudiantes la disfrutaron mucho mientras adquirían habilidades que les beneficiarán mucho más allá del salón de clases.

Another busy day this past Tuesday for our Firefighting and EMS students who are so awesome they even show up for our communities on Spring Break. We were supporting the Richland Fire Department's blood drive. Richland Fire will begin carrying whole blood on their ambulances and this donation drive was the kick-off for those efforts. Blood loss is the number one cause of death in traumatic injuries. This groundbreaking new program will help save lives and we are proud to be asked to help. Thank you Richland Fire for having our students participate and we look forward to the next time.

Renea is interning four days a week at Drs. Psomas, Warnica, and Jones, where she is gaining hands-on experience, learning a great deal, and truly enjoying her time. Pictured here are Dr. Psomas and Renea.
This office has been an incredible partner over the years, generously hosting many NEWTech interns and continuing to provide meaningful learning opportunities for our students. It is especially fun that this is also Renea’s dentist, and Dr. Psomas shared directly that he has really enjoyed having her in the office.#connectwithnewtech #dentalcareers

2/27/26- A little throw back. Civil Engineering has been up to some very cool things.
THE ROBOT OLYMPICS🤖: There were 4 teams competing in 4 events, consisting of-drag racing, an agility run, tug-of-war, and a sumo battle. They had various constraints, including limits on their robot size and the number of motors.
Triple T Sahur (Chris, Vincent, Jackson, Micah), swept the events to win 1st place with 460 out of 480 possible points. They exploited the fact that there was no limit on the number of robots allowed, only the number of motors allowed. They developed two specialized bots to participate in separate events, one light and fast, the other heavy and powerful. After seeing this, several other teams copied this strategy as well.
The class will do their second round of robot olympics today! Who will win this time?!?

I think it might be one of the coolest pictures.
This photo captures three different pharmacy tech cohorts all in one place: Akira and Emma from the Class of 2026 internship group, Paul from our very first intern cohort, the Class of 2024, and Sean from our second intern cohort, the Class of 2025.
Moments like this are a great reminder of the growth of our program and the opportunities students continue to step into each year. #connectwithnewtech #pharmacytech

Earlier this month, we shared a reel featuring Sam, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight more of the work behind the scenes. Sam takes a great deal of pride in latte art and continues practicing at home to keep improving the craft. That dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to growth are on full display in our Culinary and Hospitality program. #connectwithnewtech
