Butler Tech-D Russel Lee Career Center is a higher education provider in Butler County, Ohio, focused on career- and technical-education programs for youth and adults. Originating in 1975 as one of Ohio's first joint vocational districts, it began on a single campus south of Middletown and has since expanded into a broad network with more than 190 satellite programs across ten associate school districts. It now serves over 27,000 high school and adult students and is recognized as the largest career-technical district in the state, with online options that broaden access. The system includes facilities such as the Public Safety Education Complex, which centralizes training for police, firefighting, and emergency medical services. Recent expansion efforts in Hamilton aim to establish an Advanced Manufacturing Workforce & Innovation Hub to better align education with regional industry needs. Its base is in Hamilton, Ohio, with the main campus address at 3603 Hamilton Middletown Rd.
