   TECHNICAL EDUCATION...
​the power to grasp the future!
Picture
Grand River Technical School opened its doors in 1967, operating at that time under the name "Chillicothe Area Vocational-Technical School." A new addition was added in 1973. On July 1, 1995, the name of the school was changed to Grand River Technical School to more properly reflect the "area" concept of the school's territory. Since opening, there have only been four directors, including the current director. They were as follows: Roder Nyberg: 1967-1989; Ron Wolf: 1989-2013; Roger Wolf (Co-director): 2004-2013; and Jayme Caughron: 2013-present (Assistant Director from 2004-2013). At one time (1984-85), all four of these individuals were actually at the technical school at the same time - Roder Nyberg as director; Ron Wolf as assistant director; Roger Wolf as Agriculture instructor; and Jayme (Bannan) Caughron as a Business student.
​

The school provides needed technical training programs for secondary students, post-secondary students, and adults. It is accredited by Council on Occupational Education (COE), approved by the Missouri State Department of Education as an area school, and is operated by the Chillicothe R-II School District.

We are located in Chillicothe, Missouri, a rural community of 9,668 people, in North Central Missouri about 70 miles from St. Joseph, 120 miles from Des Moines, Iowa, 90 miles from Kansas City, and 240 miles from St. Louis. We are close to many modern industries and employment opportunities for our graduates. The community provides strong support for the school and its students with private housing and part-time jobs.

Our mission is to prepare you for a successful, rewarding career. Don't make a career out of going to school - choose a school that prepares you for a career. We won't waste your time. We'll give you the necessary career skills as efficiently as possible and help you move into your career or on to additional post-secondary training. Evaluate and visit our programs before you enroll, and when you start, give us your best!

Students who enroll in programs at Grand River Technical School, have the opportunity to earn articulated college credit. Articulated credit offers students a way to save money and time completing an Associate in Applied Science degree. Grand River Technical School works with the following colleges to award articulated college credit: North Central Missouri College; Metropolitan Community Colleges; Linn State Technical College; and State Fair Community College. 

GRTS provides services and encourages enrollment by special populations including non-traditional students, dislocated workers, single parents, and displaced homemakers. Supplemental financial aid is available to students who qualify.

Your application for admission will be reviewed individually. You should make a point to visit the school where you can meet with our vocational counselor, financial aid administrator, and faculty members from your area of interest, and receive a tour of the school. Feel free to contact us via email, phone, or stop by!
