Our HVAC students visited North Adams High School to get more hands-on experience changing air filters, on top of the building! These future professionals are gaining real-world skills while reaching new heights in their training.

Our HVAC students were excited to tour Columbus Industries, successful local business, and see firsthand how their work connects with what our students are learning in their lab. Columbus Industries will be a great future partner and potential employer for our Pioneers, giving our students a chance to take their classroom and hands-on skills into the real world. Experiences like this show what Career-Tech Education is all about… preparing students to go from Pioneers Today to Professionals Tomorrow!

Ag Business students have been practicing with our equipment by digging sites for practice soil evaluation.  Students from all over the county have been able to use these practice sites and utilized them for learning. Senior students photographed are Drew Kreml (with skid steer), then Kaden Schweitzer and Gage Stephens respectively, digging with the Cat excavator. Always something to learn daily on the farm, and we are so grateful to have the farm a resource to educate our students with hands on experiences.
