We are off to a great start and in full swing of learning here at Cascadia Technical Academy. Our students are already participating in internships, and community service events, and student-led businesses are starting to open for the year.


Construction Technology's 47th student-built house is for sale. Continue reading for more information.


I’m looking forward to the months ahead to watch our students continue to learn technical and professionalism skills in their program areas. Our students can accomplish anything they put their minds to.


We are doing great things!

Christine Matthias, Registrar

I’m excited to be joining the team at Cascadia Tech Academy! As a longtime Vancouver resident, I feel deeply rooted in Evergreen School District. I attended Evergreen High School, then worked in private industry before starting in the district where I’ve spent the last 27 years as the Registrar & Counseling Secretary at Wy’east. My husband works at Mt. View and we share three children together: Abbie (graduated from HeLa), Hallie (Mt. View), and our son Easton (Wy’east). As a family we enjoy camping, traveling with our kids’ volleyball and baseball teams, and spoiling our dog, Moxie.
