The automotive technology field is changing quickly, but students will be well-prepared to succeed. Class activities are complemented by hands-on training experiences in a real-world automotive employment atmosphere. Students will learn to safely use all the tools of the trade while repairing brakes, steering, suspension, electrical systems, computerized engine diagnostics and more.
This is a two year program for juniors and seniors. Students will have the opportunity to earn up to four credits per year in CTE or a combination of CTE and integrated academic credit for career and financial management, math and science.
This course is also open to adult students, however high school students are given first priority for enrollment.
