Where my son teaches there are two campuses,? East and West Leyden high schools.

He's primarily at East but is chairman of the department at both.

This includes machine shop, wood shop, auto shop and construction!

East has had a machine shop forever,? they just opened a brand new one at West a couple years ago. Very nice!

Manual and CNC. Turning, milling, a little surface grinding and while not really an official part of the curriculum, welding.?

He's got a pretty solid background, used to work with me part time while in HS and full time prior to the air force.?

Now he's an "aircraft metal technician" in the air national guard.?

Classes are pretty full and he comes up with a lot of cool projects to keep up the interest!?

He works with a lot of local shops that will hire a kid tomorrow with his recommendation.?

It's all good.?
