Today, students explored careers in welding with a sweet twist! Students learned about fusion welding by practicing with Hershey’s chocolate bars. They created box welds and tested their strength—hands-on learning at its finest (and tastiest)!
PGJH Advanced EAST students collaborated together to design signs for their school navigation project. They worked alongside a print shop, our principal, and School Resource Officer to make sure everything was correct so that students could easily find their way around campus. Our EAST program is an incredible asset to our school, fostering creativity, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving skills that enhance student engagement and success. Way to go, EAST!
