Message from the President

Jason LamiquizGreetings,

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, and the Perry Technical Foundation, I am excited to welcome you to Perry Tech.  From the moment you first arrive on campus to graduation and beyond, our mission is to educate, empower, and equip our students for lifelong careers in industry.  At Perry Tech, we take a direct approach to higher education centered around student success.

Perry Tech is currently undertaking a strategic Campus Expansion Project on its Yakima campus, making education more accessible at Perry Tech and helping students pursue their dream careers.   At the same time, we continue to focus on increasing scholarships and financial support for those who qualify through private donors, corporate sponsors, and government grants to help better serve the financial needs of our students.

Through continuous development of our Program Advisory Committees (PACs), industry leaders help shape our course curriculum, ensuring students receive training for the real world and are prepared for employment after graduation.  We believe this training approach leads to dependable, safety-oriented, and responsible individuals who will benefit and positively impact the communities they serve.

Thank you for trusting Perry Tech to provide you with the knowledge and resources to help turn your dreams into reality.  I look forward to seeing you on campus. 

Sincerely,

 

Jason Lamiquiz 
President
