History

The institution was initially known as Northeast Area Vocational-Technical School District Number Eleven. It was formed February 4, 1969, by a vote of residents in Mayes, Craig, Rogers and Ottawa counties. Its main office was established in Vinita, Oklahoma; in January of 2015 the new Administration Office opened on Elliott Street in Pryor.[2] In 1970, residents of Grove and Cleora in Delaware County voted to join the district.

The name changed to Northeast Vo-Tech Center in 1988, Northeast Technology Center in the summer of 1999, and then in 2017 simply Northeast Tech to better align with the CareerTech name at the state level.[2]

Student organizations

The National Technical Honor Society has an active chapter on this campus.
