"Education is a top priority in Price County. I was able to take courses at the tech while my children attended kindergarten through 12th grade. The Phillips School District provided them with an excellent education and solid foundation for college. Unfortunately, when they were graduating high school years ago, the tech school only offered a few courses. Thankfully, NTC has greatly expanded in recent years and students can take many courses and earn degrees without having to go away to college. NTC is a great asset to our community.” Judy Hayton, Phillips
