    History of Aparicio-Levy Technical College

    Aparicio-Levy Technical College was dedicated April 21, 2006, with the mission of providing employers with qualified entry-level employees. Today, we continue to provide high-quality career training for adults.

    ALTC was named after two distinguished Tampa natives, Henry Aparicio and George Levy, who rendered outstanding service to public education and support to industrial education.

    Henry Aparicio was a nationally recognized industrial arts teacher in drafting and sheet metal for over 40 years. He was highly respected by his students and generations of sheet metal workers in the Tampa Bay area.

    George Levy was a business entrepreneur who worked tirelessly with civic leaders and fellow business owners to cultivate the sports, economic, and community landscape that the Tampa Bay community enjoys today. His small business, George A. Levy Awards, grew to one of the nation's largest producers of trophies and awards.
