We are elated to welcome the Pathfinder Tech Class of 2030--our largest freshman class in school history!! 🤩 Demand for career and technical education (CTE) continues to grow and we continue to strive to provide the highest quality education & experience for youth in our area.

Can you believe that school starts in just 2 weeks?! 😶 We are delighted to welcome our new principal Mr. Jay Taylor! Mr. Taylor brings enthusiasm, fresh ideas, and valuable experience from his diverse educational background. Here are a few soundbites from his principal introduction message sent to parents/caregivers earlier this month:

"It is a privilege to join an outstanding school like PT with such a strong history of preparing students for successful careers, higher education, and lifelong learning. I am very much looking forward to working together to develop strong partnerships with families, local businesses, and the communities served by Pathfinder Tech."

"As this new role begins, I am committed to learning more about Pathfinder Tech by listening to students, families, faculty, staff, industry partners, and members of the community to build strong relationships and understanding of the strengths, traditions, and opportunities of PT."

"I am excited to become part of the PT community...and I look forward to working together to provide our students with opportunities to learn, grow, and prepare for successful futures."

Join us in welcoming Mr. Taylor to the PT family! 💛💙
