"In the Tech Ed wing you will learn common knowledge and hands on. The technology you will learn the ability to think, understand and compute problems. The Tech Ed wing will teach you more by processing and problem solving than you could by any other department. You learn to use your brain not just accept something a book tells you." - Mitch Meuleners

"In the Tech Ed department, I learned how to apply myself in fields that would help me develop my skills for work. I was able to learn skills like working on my vehicle or basic home repairs. Just the fact that almost everything was hands on and you solve problems yourself (with the supervision of the instructor) made the learning fun and exciting. For me I believe it made me more independent rather than relying on others." - Shawn Bode

"In tech classes you have the many different opportunities to learn information that will help you the rest of your life. You learn information and get to apply what you have learned in a hands on setting. You understand basic life skills like home repair, auto maintenance, electricity, estimation and planning of costs. These are skills that can and will save you money after high school. By taking Tech classes you will better prepare yourself for school or a job after high school and it will help you find better jobs." - Tom Meuffels

"We need tech classes for all kinds of reasons. So many more than I can list. I have taken Intro to Metals, Woods Tech, Entrepreneurship, and I am currently enrolled in Metals Tech. Tech classes are not just some easy classes where you make things and screw around, you learn life lessons. In my future I can’t see myself sitting down writing a ten page paper because I have a problem with something, but I can see myself using the skills I learned in tech classes to fix that problem. I can use the skills the tech class’s offer in many different situations. I could design or make my house, I could repair vehicles, wither it’s the motor or a simple weld, I could make furniture (chairs, desks, cabinets, TV stands, etc.), I could even start a business from the skills I’ve learned. Not just anyone can come and teach these valuable tech classes. Our teachers actually know what they’re doing—that’s why even their co-workers come to them because they have a problem with something and they can’t fix it, but they know that Mr. Aeling and Mr.Lindemann have a solution. Mr. Aeling and Mr. Lindemann are the greatest and my personal favorite teachers, and I know that many people would agree with that. They have taught me how to use my brain in ways that no other person has. Any math teacher can teach you an equation, but Mr. Aeling is the only teacher that can tell you how and show you how to use that equation for an actual use." - Garrett Schmitt
