Business and Education are a Great Mix!

Thank you Court Street Ford and Acme Auto Parts, Inc.

Following the incredible donation of a 2011 Ford Fiesta, Court Street Ford found another opportunity for our Auto Technology students.

Court Street Ford has donated another vehicle, this time, a 2009 Ford Focus.  This vehicle needed a cylinder head repair.  As the end of the  school year was  approaching quickly, the decision was made to implement into our curriculum an engine replacement. Students would continue to learn valuable automotive repair skills, make this a team project and break it out into a variety of learning experiences.

Enter Acme Auto Parts, Inc. - Mr. Stafford placed a call to Acme Auto and without hesitation,  Mike Baker owner of ACME donated an engine to the Automotive Technology program. 

Students have been busy replacing the engine in the focus.  Considering students learned engine theory and repair in the second quarter of this year., it is a perfect fit.

KACC, Mr. Stafford and our students are incredibly grateful to have such great support from Court Street Ford, Acme Auto and the automotive community.
