UA RICH MOUNTAIN TECHNICAL CENTER

Located at 1100 College Drive in the remote town of Mena, Arkansas, the UA Rich Mountain Technical Center functions as an active, specialized public education agency dedicated to secondary career preparation. Operating out of a single instructional facility, the center serves high school students in grades 9 through 12, offering technical and vocational training designed to complement traditional high school coursework. Its placement in western Arkansas enables it to deliver focused, hands-on learning pathways to high schoolers across the surrounding rural region, preparing them for postsecondary education and immediate workforce entry.

Operatively, the technical center functions as a collaborative educational hub rather than a conventional standalone school district. Because student enrollment and instructional staffing are coordinated in tandem with area feeder high schools and its host institution, federal reporting metrics reflect zero directly assigned full-time equivalent staff or exclusive district membership. For parents, prospective students, and educational researchers exploring career and technical offerings, the center provides direct guidance regarding admissions and specialized program tracks through its office at (479) 394-7622 or online via its official website.
