We’re excited to be a recipient of a Wyatt Brown Success Bell.
Your can read the story about the origin of the Success Bell on the Love Theory website here: https://lovetheory.org/blogs/news/success-bell As Wyatt Brown said, “Success comes in all forms and I believe we don’t celebrate each other enough. For example: a kid got his first job, another student made it to school on time every day for a week, or a teacher got all her grades entered early. Everyone’s success is gaged differently, and the bell would celebrate that.”
At PTC, our mission of “Training to Succeed” is at the core of everything we do. It drives our planning, decisions, and actions for the benefit of all students. The Success Bell will be a meaningful addition to our campus for years to come. We’re thankful for Wyatt's vision and for Love Theory providing such a great way for our students to celebrate success!

The PTC Lineworker Academy and Covia Roff Plant have entered into an agreement for training that allows the class to work at the site and remove old, obsolete, unused electrical distribution lines and poles. On April 15 we began the removal of de-energized and condemned distribution lines at the Roff plant. We removed over 500ft of 3 phase power lines and will continue to work to remove the poles and other obsolete power distribution lines.
