历史

This is the brief version — view the full version on our 历史页面.

In 1941 a program called War Production 培训 began in shop buildings at Clover Park High School. This training taught area citizens the skills needed to repair and maintain military equipment during World War II. In this program, 500 students were trained in auto mechanics and aircraft service mechanics. Out of this training, Clover Park Vocational-Technical Institute was founded in 1942. In 1954 Clover Park Vocational-Technical Institute began moving from its home in the Navy Supply Depot to vacant warehouses. In 1957 CPVTI received a small grant to purchase books and other materials to create its first resource center. In the late 1960s the schools started 16 new programs in one year, a record number. By 1970 the school employed 90 full-time instructors.  Clover Park Vocational-Technical Institute left the Clover Park School District in the 1990s and became Clover Park Technical College.
