Tulsa Technology Center

Tulsa Tech is a public independent school district affiliated with the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education. Tulsa Tech is dedicated to preparing people for success in the workplace, and helps high school and adult students from across the Tulsa region explore new careers, upgrade their training and skills, and pursue their dreams. Tulsa Tech builds relationships between Tulsa-area companies and the motivated people who bring our classrooms, labs and shops to life throughout the year. The result is a stronger community where business and workers can find their edge and shine.

As the name suggests, technology is a driving force behind the Tulsa Tech learning experience. The diverse courses and programs are designed to streamline the transition from the classroom to the real world. As such, Tulsa Tech invests in continuous improvements to ensure our technology is in sync with today’s savvy, competitive, global economy.

There are convenient locations, flexible scheduling and online classes, and you’ll also discover that at Tulsa Tech, accessibility is key. It’s one of the reasons 200 businesses, 3,200 full-time students and 69,000 adults found their place – and the skills they were looking for – in Tulsa Tech's many accessible programs in 2009. Tulsa Tech has multiple campuses and offers full-time programs, part-time programs, and training programs for business and industry. Tulsa Tech serves secondary students from public school districts throughout Tulsa County, as well as private, parochial and home-schooled students.

Tulsa Tech is accredited by the Oklahoma Department of Education, and also accredited where available by the specific industry standards associated with their industry.

History

The oldest and largest technology center in Oklahoma’s Career Tech System, Tulsa Tech was founded in 1965 as part of Tulsa Public Schools. Tulsa Tech purchased its single campus (now the Lemley Campus) from Tulsa Public Schools and became an independent school district in 1973. In 1992, the school’s name was changed from Tulsa Vo-Tech to better identify and promote the type of career-focused training provided at the school’s growing number of campuses.

Today, Tulsa Tech offers modern campuses with a new Owasso campus in the works. Construction continues to expand the Lemley Complex and Broken Arrow Campus, as part of a 10-year master plan to upgrade facilities. As we look to the future, technology continues to play an increasing role in the development and delivery of Tulsa Tech programs and services. Plans include innovative virtual classrooms and additional on-line instruction and services.
