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:
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
—Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
“There is no history of how bad became better.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
