New Leadership Takes the Helm at Indiana County Technology Center

October 9, 2026 - 11:32

Students arriving at the Indiana County Technology Center this August were greeted by a fresh face at the top of the school's administration. Mr. Scott Peterson has stepped into the role of principal, bringing with him years of experience from Marion Center Area High School, where he served in various leadership positions before making the move.

Peterson's background in education spans classroom instruction and administrative work, giving him a well rounded view of what students and staff need to succeed. His appointment marks a new chapter for the technology center, which serves learners from multiple districts who are pursuing hands on training in trades and technical fields.

Alongside Peterson, a new administrator has also joined the team, rounding out a leadership group that school officials believe will strengthen programs and support student achievement. The pair take over at a time when enrollment in career and technical education continues to draw interest from families looking for practical pathways after graduation.

Staff members say the transition has been smooth so far, with both leaders spending the early weeks meeting teachers, touring shops, and learning about the daily operations of each program. Students can expect a continued focus on safety, skill building, and connections to local employers.

The coming school year will bring opportunities to expand partnerships and update curriculum, according to those familiar with the center's goals. For now, the priority is settling in and making sure every student feels supported from day one.
