Dr. Gayla Lutts is the superintendent of Canadian Valley Technology Center. Her educational career began as a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher at Del City High School in 1991. While there, she was named the Outstanding First Year Teacher of the Year for the district, as well as nationally recognized as the Sallie Mae First Year Teacher. Dr. Lutts moved to Yukon Schools in 1997 to take a position as a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher.
In 1999, Dr. Lutts began her tenure at Canadian Valley Technology Center as the Hospitality and Retail Services Instructor for the El Reno Campus. She was named Teacher of the Year for the 2002-2003 year, and later served as an Academic Center instructor before she joined CVTech’s administration in 2009 after completing her Master’s degree. Dr. Lutts was honored as the Canadian Valley Professional of the Year for the 2010-2011 year.
On the eve of becoming the Director for CVTech’s El Reno Campus in 2013, a tornado destroyed the school.
