For the last 2 years, the Crawford High Schools Automotive Technology program has been undergoing a major facility renovation. The original automotive program was built back in the 1957’s and has served thousands of students over the last 64 years. The recent renovation includes a new service and repair facility adding 4 large service bays including state of the art vehicle alignment instrumentation, service lifts, tire and wheel balancing machines and custom toolboxes for each service bay. In addition, the new facility houses a large 1000 Sqft classroom, a clean lab for electrical vehicle service and repair, electric vehicle charging station and NC3 industry certification modules allowing student to gain industry recognized certification preparing them for college, technical schooling, and career. Students returning on April 12, 2021, will get a huge surprise walking into their new training facility as they begin learning automotive service and repair and using the latest automotive tools and equipment.
Photos of the new facility are showing CTE Automotive Instructor, Carl Kingsbury, teaching his student via zoom and demonstrating the new vehicle alignment equipment by performing an alignment on a new 2020 Corvette. Mr. Kingsbury has conducted live Zoom classes in the new facility over the last few months teaching students the in-and-outs of the new facility demonstrating the use of tools, equipment and vehicle service and repair.
