We proudly celebrated our Student of the Quarter recipients for the 3rd quarter, along with students who achieved perfect attendance during the quarter.
With more than 120 students recognized across both categories, it was an incredible celebration of dedication, hard work, and commitment. Each recipient was treated to a delicious, from-scratch “Honor Roll” prepared by our talented Culinary Arts program.
We are so proud of all our students for continually striving to improve. As the year progresses, their growth, effort, and determination truly shine. Keep up the great work, CBTECH students!

Students stepped into the role of CEOs, running a fictitious phone company in a live online business simulation. They made real-time decisions on R&D, Marketing, Social Responsibility, and Production—balancing strategy, risk, and competition just like in the real world.
Following the in-class competition, six teams are advancing to the state competition at JA World in Auburn on April 2, where they’ll compete for a chance to move on to Future Bound in Boston this June! 🌟
A huge thank you to Destiny Hamblin and the Junior Achievement Washington team for their continued support and dedication to our students’ success! 👏

What an incredible experience! Our Video Game Design and Cyber Security students joined forces for a tour of the Atkins Realis robotics, automation, and cybernetics lab in Richland—and saw firsthand just how interconnected these fields really are.
Students explored how core game development concepts like 3D environments, simulation, and real-time systems are actively driving innovation in robotics and hazardous environment mapping, while also showcasing how cyber security is critical to protecting these complex systems. Cutting-edge innovation isn’t just about building powerful technology, but also securing it.
Even more impactful was the opportunity to engage with an industry partner and see these skills in action beyond the classroom. Experiences like this highlight how our programs connect, collaborate, and prepare students for the rapidly evolving world of technology. What an amazing day bridging classrooms, careers, and cutting-edge industry!







SVT's Girls Who Code club left earlier today to WSU Pullman to work with college students and faculty in the school of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science for the Girls Who Tech Camp for two days.
This is such an awesome hands on learning experience! Our students will get to work on various projects ranging from:
-training an AI robot
-land cover identification with Google Earth Engine
-building electrical circuits, motors, and mini solar-powered Mars rovers
-designing a device that can recognise movements and gestures for monitoring health
-OR designing a object detector
We can't wait to see what projects they bring back!

Emily, pictured on the right with the assistant she is working with at Children’s Choice North, is enjoying her internship and gaining valuable hands-on experience. The office has been very supportive and has been especially impressed by how often she steps up, asks to help, and takes initiative. #connectwithnewtech #dentalcareers #internship

Saturday was a great day for the West Richland Chamber of Commerce and Benton County Fire District 4 Easter egg hunt. Thank you for having the Tri-Tech Firefighting and EMS program out to help. Sparky the Fire Dog and the Easter Bunny made appearances. Sparky agreed to behave and resisted the urge to chase the Easter Bunny 🤣




Congratulations to Andres! 🎉
He is in our Aerospace program and he was our Skills USA 3rd place winner for the overall competition!

Xavier Smith is putting his classroom learning into action during his internship, using the typing skills he developed in class to help enter prescriptions for patients in the community. It is great to see those skills transfer directly into hands-on experience. #connectwithnewtech

The parking lot at Cascadia Technical Academy came alive during the Annual E-Waste Recycling Event, where 70 Information Technology Systems, Service & Security students worked together to turn discarded electronics into something meaningful.
Led by the ITS SkillsUSA chapter, students took charge of logistics, sorted devices, and collaborated with former students, staff, and local partners, the event collected four van loads for an estimated total of 1.5 tons of electronic waste. Items ranged from printers and computer towers to monitors and miscellaneous electronics, all diverted from landfills for responsible recycling. An additional truckload was picked up by Earth Friendly Recycling, and a full box of headphones was donated to Cyber Acoustics. The result was more than just responsible recycling, it was hands-on, real-world learning in action.
Thank you to our ITS3 SkillsUSA student leaders, alumni, community partners, and all who contributed. Your efforts made a meaningful difference and showcased the positive impact of service learning in action.

WST Criminal Justice Mock Interviews today! Thank you to all the Law Enforcement Professionals that helped us out. #levelup #levelupwst #criminaljustice



Students in the EMP class put on their very own 10 minute news broadcast.






This 1988 Nissan Pulsar has been a fun project to bring back to life. Our students cleaned it out, got it started, found and fixed a fuel leak, changed the oil cooler, replaced the seals, rewired the radio, and created a full list of what still needs to be done. Next up are the struts, tires, and windshield wipers.
Ronin and Chris have taken the lead on much of this project and have really enjoyed the process. With tires dated 2002 and the car having sat since 2005, it has been exciting to see something that did not run come back to life. As Chris shared, it has been fun taking a car that did not run and getting it to the point where it now runs and works. #connectwithnewtech

✨1 Industry Partner + 2 Locations + 1 Intern =
Building a Future‼️
At Northwest Career & Technical Academy (NCTA), students don’t just learn about careers—they experience them.
Through Career & Technical Education and Skill Centers, opportunities go beyond the classroom. One of our NCTA students is gaining real-world, hands-on experience with Oak View Group at Funko Field (home of the AquaSox) and Angel of the Winds Arena (home of the Silvertips).
From live event production to facility operations, this is learning in action—developing skills that matter in real careers.
This is the Power of AND:
✔️ Education and experience
✔️ Classroom and career
✔️ Learning and doing
Learn. Do. Lead.

Ella is currently completing her dental internship at the office of Drs. Jarvis, Nelson, and Pedey. Ella is pictured in the front middle. This is a great example of the strong industry partnerships that help make NEWTech’s hands-on learning possible. Dr. Jarvis, pictured on the far right, also serves on our advisory board, and Dr. Nelson has been working closely with Ella to provide meaningful hands-on experience.
It is also exciting to see a former student, Olivia, pictured third from the left, now working in the same office after first starting there as a NEWTech student intern.
Ella plans to pursue dental hygiene, and it has been wonderful to see how well she is doing in this setting.

Some of our upper classmen went to a job fair today at the @hubsportscenter . Yesterday and before the event, students polished their resumes and practiced their pitches.
To every student that showed up and out: these steps are exactly what sets the foundation for a successful future. Keep it up!
