Heather Pence
President

It is my honor to serve as President for Chattahoochee Technical College! I am personally committed to ensuring that Chattahoochee Technical College continues to serve as the vanguard of exceptional technical education in all of the communities we serve.

With an enrollment of over 11,000 students for the 2024 fall semester, Chattahoochee Tech is providing real-world training for students at all stages of life to quickly start, change, or accelerate their careers. We offer a wide range of programs of study that prepare students to become the highly skilled professionals who are needed within the local workforce. Our students can graduate in two years or less with a meaningful degree that is immediately usable and builds a lasting career.

Most of our students come from communities near one of our nine campuses, and when they graduate they tend to stay in our communities for exciting career opportunities in the local workforce. Since the college began 61 years ago, Chattahoochee Tech graduates have been helping to build our communities and the local workforce. We are very proud of the fact that Chattahoochee Tech has successfully transformed the lives of thousands of individuals over the years and strengthened the workforce in the communities we serve.
