Learning Resource System
The school’s Learning Resource System materials are integrated into the school’s curriculum and program requirements as a mechanism to enhance the educational process and to facilitate positive learning outcomes for students. Perry Technical Institute provides learning resource materials that are commensurate with the level of education provided and appropriate to the courses of study in sufficient quantity and scope to meet the educational objectives of each program. Perry Technical Institute has a partnership with the Yakima Valley Libraries which provides Perry students with 24/7 access to a complete collection of online libraries and databases. In addition, the library offers computers, books, internet access, and research assistance. Students will be required to obtain a Yakima Valley Library Card upon enrollment. Professional Truck Driving students are not required to receive a library card due to having free resources through “drivingtest.org.” Students will be trained to locate and use information through the learning resource system.
The PTI Learning Resource Center is located off the Michael G. Smith Hallway. Hours of operation are Monday through Thursday, 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (excluding school closures and holidays).
