The company plans to hold a special reception in late August to share with the industry the many innovations and trends in education that have originated from the educational institution. The events will include recognition of past graduates from around the world.

"This is a very special occasion for all Fluid Handling employees and the entire HVACR industry," said Roy Ahlgren, director of training and education at ITT Industries' Fluid Handling Division. "We hope to reconnect with many of our past Little Red Schoolhouse graduates, including some from the very first class of '54."
