1st Place!


Student's have been working on our Model T hot rod for a number of years. It began as a drafting project in Jr. High (student drew the frame as a drafting project) and later student's in Auto 1 and Auto 2 have done a ton of welding, fabrication, assembly, etc.
Took the car to a traditional car show (pre-'65 cars) in Big Horn Wyo. this August and am proud to report the car won 1st Place in the "incomplete project" class! Many there were very impressed by the quality of the work our students produced. Can't say enough about how proud I am of them and of how proud they should be of themselves. Great Job!

School starts!

Here we go for another school year! The shop looks great, the maintenance staff worked hard this summer painting the floors and walls, thanks for all the hard work!
Please keep checking back to learn what's new, check on assignments, etc.
Really looking forward to another great year, thanks for checking in!
