Diagnostic videos for customers are the new industry standard. We had a Diagnostic Scavenger Hunt followed by the student recording this video for the customer with only 1 blooper. 🤣 What did your kid do at school today? @YsletaISDCTE @BrendaChR1 @YsletaISD @RendonSylvia

Come a long way since this.
It's always a great day when you get to see your grandson play baseball. Got to see him pitch, catch and play shortstop. Great job buddy!

My favorite time of the year in #AutomotiveTechnology @OurCareerCenter @YsletaISDCTE. First year juniors completely disassembling an engine, getting ready to measure everything, then reassemble it. What did your kids do at school today? #JoinTheDistrict @BrendaChR1 @YsletaISD

Our #AutomotiveTechnology students had a great first day of @SkillsUSA competition. Almost turned into a 12 hour day for some of them, but they pushed through. Ready for Day 2 of competition! @OurCareerCenter @YsletaISDCTE @YsletaISD @vlara_82 @BrendaChR1 @hmartinez5yisd

Our Auto Tech students dove into the science behind performance by learning how to calculate approximate horsepower using fuel consumption! Getting hands-on with the dyno data lets them connect theoretical math to real-world engine output. 🚀 @BrendaChR1 @YsletaISD @YsletaISDCTE
