BTC Celebrates 40th Anniversary!

On Wednesday night, October 28th, the Barre Technical Center celebrated 40 years of service to the Central Vermont community with an open house.

Between 6:00 and 8:00 over 400 visitors streamed through the halls of BTC, examining displays, observing students demonstrations, and visiting programs. Visitors were treated to culinary delights, paraffin wax treatments, free blood pressure screenings and childcare.

The program areas were buzzing with activity.  From house-building to food prep, from auto repair to pipe-fitting there was no shortage of things to see, with Tech Center students leading the way in the successful evening.

"The Tech Center Open House was very informative for me and my two boys who are students in Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning, and in Digital Media. The teachers and students were all very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was inviting. The food was great and I especially enjoyed the hand treatment in Cosmetology! Very fun! The experience gave me yet another perspective into learning and how it can be achieved for all types of students today. The Tech Center offers many diversified opportunities for a range of interests and learning styles. It was fun to see how it works and to talk to the great people who organize, teach, and promote this form of education. Thank you for all of your hard work!  Good job!"    Cindy Moran, Middlesex
