🐕‍🦺 K9 Demo for NCTA Students!
NCTA Vet Tech and Criminal Justice students had the opportunity to watch an exciting K9 demonstration from handlers with the Sedro-Woolley Police Department and the Skagit County Sheriff's Office.
Students learned how highly trained K9 teams assist officers in locating evidence, detecting substances, and supporting law enforcement in the field. It was a great hands-on look at how teamwork between officers and their K9 partners helps keep our communities safe.
A big thank you to the officers and K9 teams for sharing their time and expertise with our students! 👮‍♂️🐾

NCTA Dental Assisting students are sharpening their skills as they practice proper donning and doffing of personal protective equipment (PPE) in preparation for their internships later this month! 🦷🧤
These essential infection control procedures help ensure the safety of both patients and dental professionals. We’re proud of the dedication and professionalism our students are demonstrating as they get ready to step into real-world clinical settings!

@NEWTechPrep is at EWU
This week, our NEWTech Dental Assisting students had the opportunity to visit the EWU Department of Dental Hygiene on both Tuesday and Thursday. Students toured the clinic, observed learning in action, and gained a clearer picture of what the next level of dental training can look like.
Experiences like this give our students valuable exposure to postsecondary pathways while reinforcing the skills and knowledge they are building here at NEWTech. It was a great week of learning, connection, and seeing future possibilities in the dental field.

A few words from Bremerton Mayor Greg Wheeler about the importance of WST in this community. #levelup #levelupatwst City of Bremerton Bremerton School District 100-C

Biotech and Foundations in Education classes, as well as HOSA members, traveled to Cat Tales Wildlife Center. They spent the day learning about caring for non-releasable exotic and native animals while experiencing what it's like to teach and learn in a non-traditional environment. 🐯🐺🚌
