Southwest Technology Center -

🎉 Southwest Tech is proud to celebrate one of our own! 🎉 Join us in congratulating Coach Jess Tierney — husband of our Entrepreneurship Instructor Teresa Tierney — on his incredible performance at the National Finals Steer Roping! 🏆 Jess was crowned the Average Champion, and was the only contestant to successfully rope and tie all 10 steers, an exceptional accomplishment on the national stage. While this recognition comes from our friends and partners at Western Oklahoma State College, we couldn’t be prouder to cheer on the Tierney family as part of our Southwest Tech family. Teresa brings that same level of commitment, grit, and excellence into her classroom every day — inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs. Help us celebrate the Tierneys and their continued success! 👏💚 #SouthwestTechProud #CareerTechFamily #WOSCRodeo #TierneyPride #ProudPartner

Our Southwest Tech Graphic Design students put their skills and their hearts to work today 💚🎨 They spent the entire day volunteering with Hopefor22aday, a veteran founded nonprofit with an incredible mission rooted in compassion, service, and community. This organization was created after the loss of thirteen U.S. service members in Afghanistan and has grown into a powerful force for good , providing backpacks for homeless veterans, care packages for deployed troops, and support for military families. Our students helped bring awareness to this mission by assisting with packing care boxes and giving their time wherever it was needed. Their dedication made a meaningful impact, and we couldn’t be more proud of the difference they made today. Amazing work, Graphic Design! 👏💛 Small acts of service truly create big change.

Our Teacher Prep students spent Thursday at Cameron University participating in hands-on workshops and exploring campus life! 🎓✨ Students learned strategies for teaching to different learning styles, discovered opportunities through the Inspired to Teach Scholarship, and wrapped up the day with an engaging Q&A panel featuring current CU teacher education students who shared their experiences and advice. Such an inspiring day for our future educators—big thanks to Cameron University for hosting us! 💛🖤📚 #TeacherPrep #FutureTeachers #CameronUniversity #InspiredToTeach #EducationMatters

A big thank you to Altus High Counselors Lacey James and Kristen Remple for visiting The Corner during Sophomore Tours. Our Entrepreneurship students hooked them up with the newest dirty soda, The Cosmo, and it was a favorite.
We appreciate you both for always supporting Southwest Tech students.
