The Northwest Technology Center Board of Education has over fifty years of combined service.

Northwest Technology Center 's Board includes: Tom Russell of Freedom, Stan Kline and Dennis Bushman of Alva, Dean Meyer of Cleo Springs and Butch Edingfield of Fairview.

Northwest Technology Center 's Board of Education held its first organizational meeting on April 8, 1969 at Miller's Café in Waynoka. At that time, the school was called the Major-Woods Counties Area Vocational-Technical School . Those serving on the initial board included: Harold Wilkerson, Dick Brunsteter, Charles Loomis, George Barkett and J.W. Martin.

Others serving on the school's board over the past three decades include: The Honorable A.L. “Lute” Murrow of Dacoma, Glen Deweese of Waynoka, Boyd Hughes of Freedom, Louis Folks, Connie Garrison, Dr. Dan Shorter and Earl Geis of Alva, Chuck Drechsler from the Aline area and Vinton Baker, Marvin Martens, and Bob VanMeter of Fairview.

A couple of highlights in the board's history included the selection of Louis Folks as the OSSBA Distinguished Achievement Award winner in August of 2003. Folks served on the technology center board from 1972 until his retirement in 2002. This past fall, the late Dr. Dan Shorter was named to Oklahoma 's All State School Board in recognition of his 30 plus years of service to the students of Northwest Oklahoma . Dr. Shorter served as a board member from March of 1975 until his death in August of 2005.

“We appreciate all of our board members and their efforts on our behalf.” stated Freelin Roberts, NWTC's Superintendent. “We look forward to working with our current board members and thank our current and past board members for their time and dedication to our school.”
