Thank you to Benton County Fire District #1 and the Regional Fire Academy for a great day of learning for our students. They were able to observe fire behavior, as well as fire attack for a house fire, a dumpster fire and a car fire. Students were taught how to use a thermal camera and other apparatus. Our EMT students and Support Services students helped at the firefighter rehab station. They took vital signs and helped to ensure the firefighters were healthy enough to return to their training. What an amazing learning experience thanks to our region's fire and EMS agencies. #CTEskillsforreallife #tritechskillscenter
Our PSSC Law & Justice students just wrapped up their first mock trial! It was a high-stakes murder case that put their teamwork and critical thinking to the test. From opening statements to verdict, they showed up big today!
Huge shoutout to Multimedia Design for the live stream coverage 🎥 and to Sports Med for serving as our jury 🧑⚖️ We love when PSSC programs come together to make learning real.
Proud of you, Law & Justice! 💼✨

Our Construction students are hard at work building a mock-up house that will be used by our Fire Science program for live fire demonstration training.
This cross-program collaboration gives students real-world experience in framing, planning, and building structures — while also supporting hands-on training for future firefighters.
We love seeing our students’ skills come together to strengthen learning across NCTA. Great job, Construction crew! 👏🏠🔥

Our CJ students have been practicing proper handcuffing techniques, focusing on safety, communication, and professionalism. Hands-on training like this helps prepare them for real-world scenarios in the criminal justice field.
Great work CJ students!

Maritime|253 will serve learners across the South Sound
Tacoma Public Schools and the Port of Tacoma are teaming up to build Maritime|253, a state-of-the-art Maritime Skills Center designed to prepare students for the real-world demands of the maritime industry. Located within the Port of Tacoma, this facility—set to open in 2026—will offer hands-on, career-driven training at no cost to students from multiple school districts.
Maritime|253 is not a high school: it’s a regional Career and Technical Education (CTE) center where students will take advanced, industry-focused courses alongside their required high school classes. Whether heading straight into the workforce, pursuing apprenticeships, or continuing to two- and four-year colleges, Maritime|253 equips students with the skills, training and knowledge to succeed in the maritime industry.
About the Project
The Maritime|253 Skills Center is being developed as part of a Port of Tacoma waterfront campus and operated by Tacoma Public Schools.
