📅 2026–2027 Tri-Tech Calendar

Welcome to a new school year, Tri-Tech families!

A reminder for our new students and families: Tri-Tech Skills Center does not follow the Kennewick School District calendar exactly. Because our students come from eight different sending school districts, we work to align our calendar as closely as possible with all of our partner districts.

For this reason, there may be differences in school days, breaks, and other important dates. Please be sure to refer to the Tri-Tech calendar when planning your student’s schedule.

Thank you for helping us make the transition to a new school year a smooth one!

Have you ever thought about becoming a firefighter? Our Intern Firefighter Program is designed for people who are ready to gain real-world experience while preparing for a career in the fire service.

As a BCFD4 Intern Firefighter, you'll work side-by-side with our career firefighters on the same 48/96 shift schedule, taking part in station life, training, and emergency responses. You'll also have opportunities to learn about specialized disciplines like Swift Water Rescue, Technical Rescue, and Incident Management while serving a community that relies on us for more than 2,300 emergency calls each year.

Whether you're just starting your journey or already have volunteer fire experience, this program provides valuable hands-on experience that can help prepare you for a full-time career in the fire service.

Thank you to Benton County Fire District 4 for hosting a station tour for our Intro to Firefighting summer school students. In addition to an amazing tour, BCFD 4 also donated 55 sections of used fire hose. This hose is still serviceable for training and saves Tri-Tech from having to purchase new fire hose. We are so grateful for our local agencies and their continued support of our program.

We are proud to share that Tri-Tech Skills Center’s Construction Trades program has been recognized by Habitat for Humanity as its 2026 Partner of the Year for our work in building homes for families in our community.

Through this partnership, our students apply their classroom learning on real construction projects, gaining valuable hands-on experience while helping create safe, affordable housing for local families. This recognition honors the skills, dedication, and service mindset our students and instructors bring to every build.

Thank you to Habitat for Humanity and Executive Director Jet Richardson for this tremendous honor and for your continued collaboration. Thank you also to Melissa Davis, Project Manger, our day to day go to person that makes the build work. Together, we are building stronger futures and stronger communities.
