Our History
Under the leadership of Dr. Don Northington, Superintendent of School, the School Board for the School District of Washington unanimously voted to begin the process of developing a vocational school in May of 1967. Since then we have celebrated 43 graduating senior classes; countless numbers of Career and Technical Edcuation Graduates.
That September, they began teaching 7 subjects, Auto Mechanics, Building Trades, Ground Trades, Agriculture, and Cooperative Education for boys and for the girls, Health Occupations and Secretarial/Clerical Occupations to the five county schools.
