About Perry Technical Institute
Harriet I. Perry founded Perry Technical Institute in 1939 as a gift to the Yakima community and a lasting memorial to her late husband, J.M. Perry. The school was designed to train ambitious people in skilled occupations. Curriculum was streamlined to eliminate non-essentials, ensuring that students left with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to go directly into industrial positions. The school opened to 211 students in January 1941 and has operated continuously for more than 80 years.
Perry Technical Institute is housed in the same location where it was established in 1939, and has built upon its rich history to continue to meet the needs of employers. Over the years, Perry Technical Institute has tailored its programs to meet the needs of industry. While the course offerings have changed in response to these needs, the mission of the school has remained the same. Perry Tech serves industry by preparing workers with both technical skills and positive work habits.
