HISTORY

The Tennessee Technology Centers were originally established as a statewide system by the enactment of the Tennessee Legislature during the 1963 General Assembly as State Area Vocational-Technical Schools. This system operated under the supervision of the Tennessee State Board of Education until June 30, 1983. The State Area Vocational-Technical Schools came under the jurisdiction of the Tennessee State Board of Regents July 1, 1983. Further legislation changed the State Area Vocational-Technical Schools to Tennessee Technology Centers effective July 1, 1994. The Tennessee Technology Center at Covington had its beginning in 1965 and opened its first classes in October, 1966. We implemented a trimester system on January 1, 2006.
