Central Tech

In honor of National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, Central Tech proudly announces a major expansion aimed at doubling the number of program graduates over the next two years to meet the increasing demand for skilled truck drivers.

Central Tech is proud to announce that Kaylee Lockwood, one of our outstanding team members, has been selected as a 2024 NextGen Under 30 Award honoree. This prestigious recognition is awarded to young professionals across Oklahoma who have demonstrated exceptional talent, leadership, and a commitment to making a positive impact in their communities.

In addition to individual recognition, Central Technology Center has once again been honored with the Gold Star Award for the 34th consecutive year, which celebrates the school's ongoing excellence in providing high-quality education.

Central Tech will launch the Explorer Program in partnership with Mannford and Ripley public schools, designed to help middle schoolers make informed decisions about their academic and career paths. 

Central Tech recently held its End of the Year awards ceremony, with winners announced in morning and afternoon categories at their Sapulpa and Drumright campuses. See the winners inside.

Central Tech is excited to share the excellent accomplishments of our students across 38 career competition events. A total of 17 students qualified for nationals in Atlanta, and 33 students secured top positions, with 18 achieving first place. Congratulations to all our talented students!

“It is a great privilege to acknowledge these deserving students who excel in attendance, grades, and can-do attitude,” said Tera VanCleave, counselor and recruiter for the Central Tech Sapulpa campus. 

"These competitions are more than just contests; they are a proving ground for the innovative minds that will lead our nation's technological future."
