As we head towards winter break, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has helped the first semester be a great one. From staff, students, parents and community partners, I appreciate you all.


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.


Cascadia Tech staff are all working hard to ensure our students are college and career ready, with industry certifications in hand, by June. It is our mission to encourage and support student success in each program. Enjoy this edition of our newsletter and happy holidays!


We are doing great things!
