CCTE Automotive Program Success!

Back in fall of 2015, Mira Mesa High School received an $84,000 grant funded by the Jimmie Johnson Foundation. The purpose of the grant was to upgrade the facility with new tools and equipment. The Jimmie Johnson Foundation was so impressed with the Mira Mesa automotive students, and the positive impact of the program, that they sent out a film crew during the second week of school to shoot a short documentary to promote the success of the program. The documentary will go out to the Foundation stakeholders and donors. Since 2009, El Cajon resident and six time NASCAR Champion; Jimmie Johnson has funded 106 educational grants totaling $4.8 million dollars. According to Foundation, the Mira Mesa automotive grant is one of the most successful grants the foundation has ever funded
