School Notes:

  • Established in 1965 as the 24th Minnesota areas vocational-technical school, with the mission of providing occupational, educational, and technical expertise to students, the local Pine City School Board of Education worked closely with the Minnesota Department of Education from 1963 to 1965 to obtain the necessary approvals needed to establish an area vocational-technical school in Pine City. During this period, Pine City and Mora were both considered as sites. The Department originally chose Mora as the site for the vocational-technical school; however, after a visit to the Pine City public schools by the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Education, Pine City was designated as the site for the new area vocational-technical school.
  • Originally housed in various locations throughout Pine City, the initial 22,500 square feet was built in 1966. The first programs offered at Pine City Area Vocational-Technical School in 1966 were in four program areas that offered occupational diplomas in auto mechanics, welding, drafting, and secretarial/business. Students did not pay tuition to attend the vocational-technical school.
  • Over the years, the college was established as a State Technical College. Also created was a Continuing Education and Customized Training Division to provide courses to additional constituencies, and developed a student marketing/recruitment program, extensive student support and counseling services, on-campus child care, and services for special student populations. In 1989, the college opened the Employment and Training Center, which manages a variety of childcare, training and support programs for the five counties serving East Central Minnesota. In 1994, the college sought and received accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Currently, the college has made progress toward offering students more options for their education, such as Associate of Science degrees and a joint Associate of Arts degree.
  • Pine Technical College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
