Please visit the OVCTC page on the district website to find the link to order your uniforms online! There are no exchanges, so make sure you check the sizing chart and order the proper uniform items for your program!

The Ohio Valley CTC Culinary Arts Program will receive a $5,000 grant from the Rachael Ray Foundation to build up their National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation ProStart culinary arts and restaurant management programs. The grants from the Rachael Ray Foundation ProStart Grow Grant Program will help educators build the tools to teach their students career-building skills using the ProStart curriculum. Schools can use their Grow Grant funds to make classroom upgrades or purchase new equipment and resources. Congratulations to Mrs. Foster and the Culinary Arts program for securing / winning this grant for the 2023-2024 school year.
This week, some of our Ag Mechanics students were able to attend an event held by Ohio Cat. Thanks to Jason Berens, a Cat Employee specialist, and Craig Wellert a Cat Technical training supervisor, for a great day of information. We hope to expand this relationship to our students in our shop soon! Thank to Ohio Cat for supporting our OVCTC students!
During our Senior Completion Ceremony, it came to our attention that there was three generations of OVCTC students in attendance. Karen and Allan Cluxton of Peebles were in the first and second classes at was then the Ohio Valley Vocational School. Their son, Andy along with his wife Nancy were also students. In 2022, their son , Drew completed our precision machining program and this year, their daughter, Annymae completed our Agribusiness Production Systems program.
The OVCTC Cosmetology students did a volunteer project for "Community Day" at Monarch Meadows at the end of May! The students loved doing hair and nails for the residents there and had a great time!
Senior Completion Ceremony photos are available for download at the link below. This album includes the ceremony and rehearsal photos.

The OVCTC Ag Mechanics program is having a changing of the guard! We say congratulations to our graduating Seniors while the "new Seniors" have picked up the slack with some community service before summer. The chain link fence removal in shade tree park was an important project at the fairgrounds! A new door was fabricated for the Crows Nest (special thanks to OVCTC Welding). Some time was spent on maintenance and rehab of the bleachers! We hope all our students have a great summer.
