FITE FB Post 1.31.26
We had the best time getting to watch our Seattle FITErs do their thing last night! Roller derby with Myra and Sage. Myra…better knows as… FLAMING DIVA even received the MVP best blocker award 🥇
Way to go FITErs, we are so proud of you 💪
We’ve made some updates!
With our *50th ANNIVERSARY* quickly approaching, we wanted to share some updates you may see around our campus and share how far we have come!
We have refreshed for the future and made some changes in our logo, but we are still same place! We have also made an update to our sign in the front of our building, making it much more visible.
We wanted to take a moment to show you how far we have truly come since the dream of Sno-Isle TECH came to fruition! The first sign in the photos is back from 1977 when Sno-Isle TECH first began. It began with offering the following 17 programs: Auto Mechanics, Advanced Business & Office, Construction Trades, Cosmetology, Custodial, Data Accounting, Dental Assistant, Electronics/Electricity, Engineering Aide/Drafting, Food Preparation, Horticulture/Landscaping, Machine Trades, Medical Office Assistant, Nursing Aides/Orderlies, Plastics, Veterinarian Aide/Animal Care, Welding. These programs at the time were only available to 9 districts around the county.
The second photo is the sign now in 2026, 49 years later! Our school now houses the following 25 programs: Animation, Computers Servers & Networking, Electronics Engineering Technology, Video Game Design, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts Management & Operations, Culinary Arts Baking & Pastry, Culinary Arts Production & Service, Fashion & Merchandising, Dental Assisting, Medical Assisting, Nursing Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Veterinary Assisting, Criminal Justice, Fire Service Tech, Early Childhood Education, Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace Manufacturing, Auto Body & Collision, Automotive Technology, Construction Trades, Diesel Power Technology, Welding & Metal Fabrication. These programs are now available to all high schools around Snohomish County & South Island County, totaling 15 districts!
Sno-Isle TECH Skills Center has been providing opportunities and launching careers for nearly 50 years and we can’t wait to see what the next 50 brings!
Stay tuned as we begin planning our 50th Anniversary celebration, open to all alumni and past Sno-Isle TECH employees and community partners! Thank you all for supporting us and our students!

CBTECH Criminal Justice students spent an extensive amount of time practicing handcuffing this past week. A skill that is critical in this field.
We love it when our New Market students use their skills to support another student!
Just FYI. The previously scheduled Building Dedication set for Jan 27th has been rescheduled for February 24, due to scheduling conflicts with guests.

Mrs. Dale's Pharmacy Technician students are officially stepping into second-semester Worksite Learning—putting their skills to work in real pharmacy settings and gaining hands-on experience that matters.
Students placed with Valley Services, are working in a closed-door pharmacy, where they support medication preparation for long-term care facilities and other partner sites. This behind-the-scenes work requires precision, accountability, and attention to detail to ensure hundreds of patients receive the correct medications on time.
Students placed with Providence rotate through Sacred Heart Medical Center, Holy Family Hospital, and St. Luke’s Hospital, where they are developing hospital-level pharmacy skills. These experiences include filling Pyxis machines, hand-carrying critical medications, preparing pediatric doses, and supporting emergency medication needs—high responsibility in fast-paced clinical environments.
At Walgreens and Rosauers, students are gaining valuable retail pharmacy experience, building skills in customer service, inventory management, and insurance billing—where accuracy, communication, and problem-solving are essential.

CBTECH students had the opportunity to work with BBCC’s Jennifer Starr this week. She shared valuable insights on where and how to find scholarships, what scholarship reviewers and donors look for in applications, and the key characteristics of strong scholarship essays. Ms. Starr also provided practical tips to help students improve clarity, word choice, and overall application quality.
Students who attended the presentation and met individually with Ms. Starr benefited from one-on-one guidance on a wide range of post-secondary education topics.
