Anderson County Career Technical Center

What Anderson County Career Technical Center does

Anderson County Career and Technical Center (ACCTC) is a public career and technical education institution operated by the Anderson County School District in Clinton, Tennessee. It serves approximately 1,192 enrolled high school students — primarily juniors and seniors aged 16 and older — drawn from across Anderson County's K-12 feeder schools. The center delivers hands-on technical training across more than 14 program areas, including Automotive/Diesel, Welding and Industrial Maintenance, Machining, Cosmetology, Health Science, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Agriculture, Engineering, Digital Business, Construction, Carpentry, Hospitality and Tourism, AV Production/Digital Arts, Personal Finance, and Special Education Teaching. Students can earn industry-recognized certifications (ASE, AWS, CNA, CompTIA ITF+, OSHA-10, ServSafe, MOS, Snap-On PMI, FAA Part 107) and participate in six Career and Technical Student Organizations (DECA, FCCLA, FFA, HOSA, SkillsUSA, TSA).

The school's core technology infrastructure consists of a 1:1 Chromebook-to-student ratio for general academic use and specialized shop/lab equipment across each program area, supplemented in 2025 by a Virtual Reality Simulator for skills training. Dual enrollment partnerships with four post-secondary institutions — Roane State Community College, TCAT Knoxville, Tennessee Tech University, and Pellissippi State — allow students to earn transferable college credit while completing high school. The Industry 4.0 Diploma Distinction, Work-Based Learning program, and Ready Graduate credential pathway add structured bridges from secondary education to the workforce or further training.

As a government-run public school within Anderson County School District, ACCTC operates under public education funding rather than commercial revenue generation. Tuition is not charged; students may use TN Promise dollars for post-secondary continuation. The center is governed by district-appointed administrative leadership (CTE Director Kelly Myers, Principal Nathan Wade, Assistant Principal David Wood) with a staff of credentialed instructors across each CTE discipline. The mission — "Every Student, Every Day" — emphasizes equipping all students with knowledge and skills for their chosen career path, supported by a reported 95.9% average graduation rate.
