Did you know that the NWTI Food Pantry distributed over 100 boxes of food & supplies in 2024? We partnered with the NWA Food Bank to start it up, along with the help of a $500 donation from our NWTI Education Foundation, and the hard work of Loretta Sowman (Student Library).
Established on August 28th, 2024 the Food Pantry is just another way we are dedicated to go above & beyond for our students. #nwti50thanniversary #nwti #nwafoodbank #foodpantry #helpinghand

Teddy Cardwell and Amy White from the Animal League of Washington County, pictured here with NWTI Director of Student Services Brooke Daniel, and NWTI Student Library and Food Pantry Coordinator Loretta Sowman, pose with a pet food donation for the pantry.
We oftentimes forget that when a household is dealing with food insecurity, it usually effects their pets too.
Thank you for your continued support of NWTI and its students (and their pets)! #animalleagueofwashingtoncounty #nwtifoodpantry #nwaarkansasfoodbank #pets

HOW DID WE GET OUR START 50 YEARS AGO?
The idea of a vocational and technical school in Springdale, AR. began way back in 1973. On March 3rd, 1973, a bill was introduced to the Arkansas State Legislature to appropriate funds for "...the constructing and equipping of various vocational-technical schools...." That document is shown in this post.
We've also included historic newspaper articles and photos to illustrate just how NWTI (then called Northwest Vocational-Technical School) was established and began to evolve.
We'll have much more news and history in the coming months as we celebrate our journey towards 50 years of providing workforce training excellence!
Won't you please join us? #nwti50thanniversary #nwarkansas #vocational #technical #school #workforceeducation
