Description:

This Golden LEAF grant will allow Pisgah High School to continue to offer students in its metals program the opportunity to conduct part of their training on an Office Mill. Because the Office Mill is smaller than traditional mills used in metal working, it provides a useful introduction to students beginning the metals program. The School’s metal program is recognized throughout the region for placing students in internships with local companies and giving students the opportunity to fabricate parts that are used by local industry. In addition, the program has a strong track record of placing students in jobs with local industry after graduation. Graduates of the program can earn wages in the range of $14.50/hour.
