We had our first presentation at West Sound Tech in our new building today! Puget Sound Naval Shipyard was on campus to talk to our students about jobs. Our 2nd floor was busy with our Cosmetology students working. We are learning how to use our building and how amazing it is. #levelup #levelupatwst

This year’s cohort includes 5 Pharmacy Technicians, 8 Medical Assistants, and 16 Nursing Assistants.
Medical Assisting and Pharmacy begin Monday, January 12.
Nursing begins February 23.

From innovative designs to impressive load-bearing performances, this hands-on project taught teamwork, structural analysis, and the importance of learning through failure.


Extremely proud of our CBTECH IBP student, Mario Gonzales, for placing 1st at the Regional SkillsUSA Washington competition. Mario will be competing at the State level later this year. Congratulations, Mario, very well deserved.

This is a great class to learn new skills or advance existing skills! It allows you to be out in the shop learning on tools and machines such as CNC machines, lathes, mills, and more! Students will tap into their creativity while learning engineering and manufacturing skills to bring different designs to life, creating a multitude of parts, tools, equipment, etc. that are used in many industries across the board.
This program offers students the chance to get a science and 3rd year math high school equivalency credit, 17 dual college credits at EvCC, and other various certs. There is also an apprenticeship opportunity!

Today, Mr. Sauer’s and Mr. Thomsen’s Construction Pre-Apprenticeship students jumped in to help clear snow around the area behind our Skilled Trades and Transportaion shops, ensuring safe access to our shops and facilities.
This is what real-world learning looks like—teamwork, responsibility, and taking pride in doing the work that needs to be done. These students didn’t just learn about the construction trades today—they lived the expectations of the industry.
Great work by our Construction Pre-Apprentices and instructors! 👏





Precision moves. Clear communication. Zero panic.
First time spine boarding and our Sports Med class showed what real healthcare teamwork looks like 👏
