History of Tulsa Tech

Over 40 Years of Advancing the Tulsa Area.

The oldest and largest technology center in Oklahoma’s Career Tech System, Tulsa Tech was founded in 1965 as part of Tulsa Public Schools. Tulsa Tech purchased its single campus (now the Lemley Campus) from Tulsa Public Schools and became an independent school district in 1973.

In 1992, the school’s name was changed from Tulsa Vo-Tech to better identify and promote the type of career-focused training provided at the school’s growing number of campuses.

Today, Tulsa Tech offers modern campuses with a new Owasso campus in the works. Construction continues to expand the Lemley Complex and Broken Arrow Campus, as part of a 10-year master plan to upgrade facilities.

As we look to the future, technology continues to play an increasing role in the development and delivery of Tulsa Tech programs and services. Plans include innovative virtual classrooms and additional on-line instruction and services.
