Nothing Teaches Like Experience

Quality leaders emphasize goals, direction, results, and ongoing evaluation. This encourages instructors to lead by example as they begin each day with high expectations and push students to do their best.

Respect is the alliance that bonds students and faculty. Our instructors, having worked in their industry, demonstrate a passion for their trade. It’s reflected in the students as they take pride in their work and become a part of something greater than themselves. This culture doesn’t happen by accident.

We pride ourselves on a student-to-faculty ratio of 18:1.

Central Tech Making A Difference

As part of the Oklahoma CareerTech system, our 25 communities, including 18 high schools, gain strength as we prepare secondary and post-secondary students for the workforce, armed with industry-recognized credentials.

With a focus on quality instruction, enrollment, and placement, we incorporate collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking into the curriculum.

Lifelong learning is no longer an option in this technological world. As technology advances and occupations evolve, people must adhere to the demands of stronger and more continuous learning to stay marketable.

At 2:12 PM this afternoon, smoke was reported in the main building of our Drumright campus. The smoke originated from an HVAC unit on the roof, where a motor burned out. Emergency services were immediately alerted, and the building was promptly evacuated. Thankfully, there was no fire, and the situation was under control. The all-clear was given at 2:27 PM, and normal operations have resumed. Everyone is safe, and we appreciate the quick response from our staff and local emergency services. ...
