We have spent the past year speaking to our community service groups and today we invited them to tour our new building. We had Bremerton Lions Club and Rotary clubs from Bremerton, East Bremerton, East Bremerton, Poulsbo, Gig Harbor and Silverdale. We are excited to open our building to our students and community in January! #levelupatwst

Recently our Foundations in Education students have had the opportunity to attend field trips to CVSD elementary schools where they met highly skilled educators, toured welcoming classrooms, and spent time with students in a variety of ways such as helping with learning activities and playing games at recess!
THANK YOU South Pines Elementary, Broadway Elementary, University Elementary, and Progress Elementary for hosting our students and helping ignite their passion for education! It was also great to see our former school counselor Mrs. Baumann at one of the schools.
Awesome work, Innovators!
Shout out to Mrs. Loncon too! This is a new class to our school and she's had to create all the content herself as she goes. In fact, most our teachers this year are teaching a new class/es and have to do the same thing. Our teachers really put in their all for our students

🎓✨ Educator Day at NCTA was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we collaborate for student success. Over 20 passionate educators came together to explore how NCTA supports their goals—from learning and belonging to graduation and beyond.
Together, we dove into: 🔹 Student-centered scheduling 🔹 Open Door and NCTA programs 🔹 High school + post-secondary planning 🔹 Enrollment, apprenticeships, and internships
💬 In the evening, we welcomed community members for Apprenticeship 101, hosted in partnership with Career Connect Northwest. It was an inspiring conversation about hands-on pathways to career success.
📄 Missed it? A copy of the presentation is available at www.nwtech.k12.wa.us
under the “Information Tool Kit” link in the menu.
Thank you to every educator, partner, and community member who showed up ready to learn, share, and build pathways for our students. 💙

Last week, representatives from our seven Skill Center programs set up tables at the Unlock Your Future event at the HUB in Spokane Valley (Fire Science/EMT pictured first). The event brought together local businesses to talk with middle schoolers about career fields they might pursue. Our students showcased how Skill Center programs can be a stepping stone toward those careers—and did an amazing job representing their programs!
