The students in shop have been learning all about small engines. Our advance students tore down engines for inspection and reassembly. After reassembly the students brought in their own projects for service & repair. Contact Mr Cross about our SkillsUSA chapter servicing your equipment.

Big wheels, bigger hearts 🚌💛

Today we celebrate the ones who get our students where they need to go—no matter what kind of Nebraska weather is thrown at them. They show up early, keep things rolling, and always have a smile.

Thanks for going the extra mile for our students every single day!
