ADA, Okla. (KTEN) — A national ranking is putting Pontotoc Technology Center among the top vocational schools in the nation, and you can see why in the nursing classroom.
"When you can go through our program and say that 94 percent of you are going to get a job or going to extend your education careers once you go through it - it just shows the high regard we have for our industries, our careers and our students," said Superintendent, Travis Graham.
