Veterans Tribute Career & Technical Academy was introduced to the public with the distinction of being the only school of its kind in the state of Nevada focusing on preparing students for careers in public service. Our school carries a name, befitting the ultimate public servants. Since the founding of our nation, men and women have risked harm’s way, sacrificing their lives and their fortunes, fighting for the very freedom enjoyed today by every United States citizen. These same men and women have left behind family and friends, to make foreign societies democratic in nature, providing basic needs, if not greater opportunity, for their citizens. Given the broad spectrum of their immense dedication, commitment and inspiration, it is only appropriate to pay tribute to our veterans; past, present, and future.
