📸 Here’s our Fall group pic of students in sports and extracurriculars! We love giving a shoutout to those who stay busy outside the classroom.
No matter which school they’re from, they all come together to show what teamwork and community are all about. We’re proud to have them representing MOVTI! 🌟

In career and technical education, learning goes beyond the classroom. Our students roll up their sleeves, dive in, and experience what real learning is all about by discovering how to solve problems, working side by side with others, and gaining the confidence that comes from doing the work. Every day, they’re not just preparing for graduation - they’re preparing for life!

Students in our new Manufacturing: Production and Design program were introduced to the new Skill Boss Manufacturing Training & Assessment system. This trainer offers performance-based assessment for evaluating the skill levels and competencies of future machine operators. Hands on learning at its best!

The 2025-2026 school year has officially begun, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome our students back to Mid-Ohio Valley Technical Institute! Here's to a year of hands-on learning, career exploration, and growth! Let's make it a great one!

Thank you for your patience and support while we make these important improvements. Please be careful and stay alert when walking near the area.

Over the course of the semester, our Carpentry and Building Maintenance students built a custom 12' x 20' shed. Once it was complete, it was loaded onto our new shed trailer, delivered it to the customer’s home, and put perfectly in place with the Mule shed mover. From start to finish, this was a full team effort and an awesome hands-on learning experience!
