Getting it DONE — in the shop AND on the court! Congratulations Andrew! Andrew is in our Ag Mechanics program, he is proving you don’t have to choose between career tech and athletics. After putting in work in the lab—learning hands-on skills that lead straight to high-demand careers, he turned around and earned C103 Player of the Game! This is what we’re all about at the Ohio Valley Career & Technical Center. Students can train for real careers, earn industry credentials, and still compete at a high level in sports, be involved in clubs, attend dances, and enjoy everything that comes with the high

We had the amazing opportunity to host West Union Elementary and Manchester Elementary 3rd grade teachers and students to the CTC, what an incredible day it was! Our halls were filled with smiles, laughter, and plenty of Christmas cheer as students enjoyed:

Decorating cookies, Creating Christmas cards for local nursing homes, Collecting ornaments handcrafted right here at the CTC, Pictures with Santa, Festive face painting, Story time, A holiday hayride, A beautiful live nativity, Fun games, activities and hot chocolate.

What made the day truly special was watching our CTC students shine. They didn’t just host the event they led, organized, and guided each activity with the help of our amazing staff. Their creativity, leadership, and teamwork continue to show just how incredible our Pioneers are, both in their labs and out in the community.

We love sharing these experiences with our community in fun, festive, and meaningful ways.

We’re excited to welcome Peebles Elementary and North Adams Elementary for round two of Christmas magic at the CTC!

Wrapped up Day 2 of Sophomore Tours! We can’t wait to see which programs our future Pioneers choose. A huge thank you to building administrators for making time for students to visit, our SkillsUSA and FFA representatives for doing an outstanding job leading tours, and our amazing OVCTC staff for welcoming students and preparing for two full days of tours. We will continue to offer tours and information for any student or family who would like to visit and get a first-hand look at why choosing to become a Pioneer is a game changer, and what makes OVCTC such a great place to learn and earn. #PioneersTodayProfessionalsTomorrow

Not only are our Pioneers talented in their labs, but they also shine in the classroom!

Students in Mrs. Edmisten’s Language Arts class participated in the Young Writers USA creative writing contest, “Fright Night.” Each student had to craft a scary story in 100 words or less, putting their creativity, precision, and academic skills to the test.

We’re proud to announce that the students pictured were selected to be published in Fright Club – The Haunted Pages Anthology!

Earlier today, the Ohio Valley Career & Technical Center entered Secure Mode due to an incident occurring off campus. At no point were students or staff in danger; this was taken as a precaution to ensure the safety of everyone in our building.

Once we were informed by authorities that the situation had been resolved, we promptly returned to normal school operations.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to local law enforcement for their timely communication and continued partnership in keeping our students and staff safe.
