History
The South Kansas City location has been teaching career education programs since 1953 when it first opened its doors as Electronics Institute, in Missouri. In 1992, Jeffery C. Freeman and Scott F. Freeman purchased the school and began expanding its programs. The school changed its name in September 2002 to Pinnacle Career Institute.
The Lawrence location was originally the Center for Training in Business and Industry. In 1998, Scott F. and Jeffrey C. Freeman acquired the school, and it soon became Lawrence Career College. On February 3, 2003, the school was changed to Pinnacle Career Institute to join its sister school in South Kansas City.
In January 2005, Pinnacle Career Institute started teaching distance education programs through their Learning Management System. The online career education is delivered year-round and provides students with a flexible way to earn an Associate of Occupational Studies degree or certification.
The North Kansas City location opened its doors in April 2008 to meet the growing demand in the Kansas City area. The North Kansas City campus is an additional campus of PCI.
Today, PCI offers programs that prepare students for careers in fields such as Alternative Energy, Business, Health & Fitness, Medical, and Trades & Technical.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
