It is a public STEM Magnet school for grades 6-12. The middle school program for grades 6-8 used to be operated at the Jim Parsley Community Center (JPCC) and the high school program for grades 9-12 at the main campus within Washington State University Vancouver.[2]
The school now operates with all grades combined in their new building dedicated 2020.[3]
The school focuses on STEM subjects (classes such as physics, algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, statistics, psychology, sociology, astronomy, environmental science, and zoology) while using project-based learning, where a student is taught something then creates a workpiece that shows that the student learned what was taught.[4]
iTech has in the past worked with WSUV and Clark College to get early college programs available to students who have spent at least 1 semester in the high school program[citation needed].
The interim principal is Zachary Tautfest and the associate principal is Alex Otoupal.[5]
