Tillamook High School has a agriculture science and industrial technology program which includes animal science, plant science, leadership, business, and mechanics.
Watch as Jesse Gomez, a student at THS, taught a peer how to weld for the first time! Additonally, you can watch Cody and Derek show off a drag car. Cody explains the work completed on a Ford Mustang including the rebuild of a motor, welding, and sheet metal building. Jesse shared he is planning to attend a "hot rod school" after graduation.
Later in the video, Derek describes his experience in class "I'm not a big sit down person - I like getting my hands on stuff and learning new skills is a big thing for me. [It's] definitely so much fun trying to get under here (the Ford Mustang). I do as much as I can - and learn way more talents than I would at home."
During the video, you also hear from the agricultural CTE teacher Hayden Bush, "We can touch a lot of lives of a lot of students but it's still all based around the principles, the ideals, and the responsibilities that fall within the agricultural industrial technology fields. [I] equip students with at least some skills to succeed in no matter what they chose after high school."
