Northeast Technology Center (NTC) is the # 1 place for career training in Northeast Oklahoma. With four campuses in Afton, Claremore, Kansas, and Pryor, we have locations all around our district. Northeast Technology Center (formerly “Northeast Area Vocational-Technical School District Number Eleven”) was formed by a majority vote of the people of Mayes, Craig, Rogers and Ottawa counties on February 4, 1969. The first school board was comprised of Dave Huchison, Carl Mustain, Samuel Victor, Ralph Boatright, and Jack Kissee. Earl Kelly was hired to become the first superintendent of the district, and offices were established at 122 South Scraper in Vinita. Today, NTC serves students across eight counties with its four campuses in Afton, Claremore, Kansas, and Pryor. Each year, NTC trains over 1,200+ students in its full time daytime programs. Through NTC’s Business & Industry Services, along with short term night and weekend classes, almost 20,000 additional students train through NTC.

Dedicated and caring faculty and staff have created a wonderful school environment for children and a strong working relationship with parents. We support each other in promoting the best for children in the Wickliffe community. Wickliffe Elementary School has many strengths of which the community is justly proud. Although the original building was completed in 1908, and there have been several additions over the years, the building retains a special charm. Wickliffe Elementary incorporates the best of a small, hometown school atmosphere with the modern educational practices one would expect to see in a busy suburban area. We still cook and serves meals, the school endeavors to create a warm, nurturing environment which will welcome children and families as soon as they enter its doors. The gymnasium invites children to enter into games and many other activities. A 10,000 volume library is a true gem which introduces children to a lifelong love of books and reading.
