StrataTech Education Group Welcomes Tamekia Morris as Campus President of Its New
Tulsa Welding School Atlanta Campus Opening Soon
ATLANTA (October 13, 2025) – StrataTech Education Group (StrataTech), an operator of skilled trade schools: The Refrigeration School, Inc. (RSI) in Phoenix and Tulsa Welding School (TWS) with locations in Tulsa, Jacksonville, Houston, and Dallas Metro, is pleased to announce Tamekia Morris as campus president of its new TWS campus opening soon in Metro Atlanta, Ga.
With over two decades of transformative leadership in operations and logistics, Morris has made a profound impact on educational institutions and corporate environments alike. She has established a career marked by significant achievements, such as increasing student populations by 40% and boosting student retention by the same margin.
Morris began her career in education in 2007 and has been dedicated to trade education for the past 18 years. She attended a traditional four-year university and was never exposed to the opportunities in the skilled trades. This is why Morris continues to work to increase awareness and teach students about the countless opportunities the skilled trades offer future professionals.
“The most rewarding aspect working in skilled trades education is seeing the direct impact on students’ lives. Many of our students come to us seeking a second chance, a career change, or a way to provide for their families,” said Morris. “Watching them transform their futures—sometimes in as little as seven months—reminds me daily of the importance of this work.”
Morris moved away from Atlanta two years ago to pursue leadership roles in higher education, but the opportunity to return to her roots as TWS Atlanta’s campus president has come full circle.
“Tamekia is focused on shaping the culture, building the team, and creating a vision for success at TWS Atlanta,” said StrataTech President and CEO Mary Kelly. “The launch of the new campus in her hometown allows Morris the chance to instill values of excellence, accountability, and student-first service from the ground up.”
“My vision is for Tulsa Welding School – Atlanta to become the premier trade school in the area, known for producing the highest-quality graduates,” added Morris. “I want employers to see our students as their first choice for talent, and I want students to see us as a place where they can truly transform their futures.”
