WELDING

Welding is a skill that seamlessly integrates art and science to unite metal into functional structures. In our high school welding program, students can earn credits in both Fabrication courses at the junior and senior levels, as well as in Apprenticeship-level courses. This program offers students the opportunity to learn fundamental techniques across various welding processes, safety protocols, and the operation of diverse tools and equipment.

The hands-on nature of the program not only imparts essential welding skills but also fosters the development of critical problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and creative thinking. Whether students aspire to become professional welders or wish to pursue welding as a hobby, our program provides a robust foundation for their future endeavors in the field of metal fabrication.
