SHS Agriculture and Engineering/Kohler classes enjoyed a visit today from Richard Pugh with Nashville Auto Diesel College, a Lincoln Tech campus. Mr. Pugh shared information about the 22 Lincoln Tech campuses, their technical programs, costs of attendance, and financial aid options. Many SHS students are interested in careers as mechanics, HVAC technicians, and electricians. Opportunities like this help our students explore pathways that will enable them to achieve their goals for adulthood.
