From design to finished product....Family and Consumer Science (FACS) 1 students have been learning about basic sewing construction skills.

57 Cadillac Update
Students have been repairing the body damages to the rear of the Cadillac. The rear half has been primed with urethane high build primer. In addition students have learned how to correct old body repairs with MIG welding. This is important to know as those types of repairs are not used in the industry anymore.
Our programs offer students new experiences. Horticulture students have the opportunity to learn basic safety procedures and how to operate farm equipment. Most recently students focused on tractor operations.
