Hope High School Ag students are gaining hands-on experience with industry-relevant equipment!
The Hope Ag Department would like to thank the Magnet Grant for helping purchase a Miller Multimatic 235 welding machine. This equipment gives students the opportunity to practice MIG welding and build skills used throughout the industrial workforce.
Experiences like this help prepare our students for their next steps, whether that is college, career training, or entering the workforce.
