Student spotlight
Jackson Bentz (photo) is an outstanding student in Automotive Technology. He is eager to learn and pays attention to detail.
Jackson works well with others and is not afraid to tackle most jobs. If he is not sure on how to perform a task, he is not afraid to ask for help.
Jackson is pretty good with trying to solve problems and finding solutions on his own, and has a great work ethic. He is always looking for something to do.
If Jackson doesn't have a vehicle to work on, he will clean in the shop, put tools away, and organize the shop.
Jackson will be getting further education in automotive after graduation at UHNO.
