At Pinkerton we encourage our students to take risks and try new things in their learning. Trying his hand at something he had never done, Dr. Powers recently joined the Welding 2 students to work on a special project.
We are so fortunate to have our CTE program and teachers like Ms. LeClair providing these opportunities for students while they're in high school.
