New Series: This is Maritime 🌊⚓
FB Post Link
The maritime industry supports our communities, protects the environment, and keeps global trade moving, and the people behind it make the impact possible.
In this series, hear from professionals across the Port of Tacoma, The Northwest Seaport Alliance, and our local maritime industry as they share what they do, how they got there, and what inspires them.
First up: Meet Sara Potter, Environmental Project Manager.
Sara leads the Blair Waterway Deepening Program, supporting economic growth at the Port of Tacoma while creating new habitat from clean dredged material.
Her work aligns with Maritime|253’s sustainability pathway, helping students see what careers in environmental stewardship can look like.



Last week, PCSC held our Senior Awards Night! For the first time ever, we hosted the event off-site because we have outgrown our commons space — a true testament to the growth and success of our students and programs.

A huge thank you to our industry partners, advisory board members, volunteers, staff, and students for coming together to make today’s College & Career Fair such an incredible experience!
From interview rooms to information booths to leadership sessions, our juniors and seniors had the opportunity to spend intentional time exploring and planning for the futures they choose.
Good luck to all of our scholars as Capstone Week continues through Friday! It’s an honor to witness your hard work, growth, and culminating projects come to life! 🎓✨









During this internship experience, students were cutting blanks into parts that are delivered to the clean room to be bonded into an engine panel assembly for a commercial jet. NCTA graduate Jesus also had the opportunity to show current students Alyi and Fabian how to trim and shape non-metallic honeycomb materials used in aerospace manufacturing.
These hands-on experiences give students valuable industry skills while connecting classroom learning directly to high-demand careers in aerospace manufacturing.
Many thanks to our incredible industry partners for helping make these authentic, career-connected learning experiences possible!

PM FITE completed a timed confidence course at a local fire station this week! We connected hose to the fire hydrant, climbed ladders, then raised and lowered 150 feet of hose over three stories. Such a fun drill! Contributed by PM Fire & EMS Class Rep, Shay. #FutureReady #WANICFITE



Students gained valuable insight into the juvenile justice system, career pathways, and the important role case managers and probation counselors play in supporting youth and strengthening our communities.

Hands-on learning in action! 🐷🐰
In our Pre-Vet Tech class, students explored animal anatomy through pig and rabbit dissections to better understand body systems and veterinary care. For students interested in the veterinary field, experiences like this provide valuable real-world learning and a deeper understanding of how veterinarians care for animals every day. 🩺🐾
We’re proud to provide opportunities that turn passion into purpose and classroom learning into future careers! 💙




Mark your calendars 🗓️🎓✨
Ceremonies take place in the HSB and will start right on time! Receive awards, graduation cords, and be recognized for your hard work this year 🏆

Only at NEWTech will you find a student in the hall carrying a part for his truck in one hand and a flat of eggs for his instructor in the other. People often ask what makes NEWTech a special place to attend/work. This exemplifies it! By the way those eggs were delivered with not so much as a scratch on any of them. 😀
