School History
An unassuming golden shovel rests virtually unnoticed in our office corner. Penned on that historic shovel are the 38-year-old words, Ground Breaking Ceremony, March 25, 1969.
By August 1970, James Rumsey Vocational-Technical Center was a 2.5 million dollar functioning reality offering 13 areas of technical training. That first year enrollment consisted of 289 high school students, 110 full time post high school students and 204 part-time evening students!
Today, under the direction of Mrs. Vicki R. Jenkins, the James Rumsey Technical Institute offers 17 high school and eight post secondary courses with a total enrollment of approximately 700 students!
