A Vance County native and lifelong resident, Gregory graduated from Northern Vance High School and went to work in a warehouse before becoming a cook at a local restaurant. Gregory entered the evening program of Automotive Systems Technology in January and started working at Superior in March. He says he really likes what he is doing and, although he might want to run his own shop someday, he is happy now at the Chrysler agency. Gregory received a plaque commemorating his choice as Vocational Student of the Semester, and his name has been added to a permanent plaque on display in the school s Student Services Building. Automotive Systems Technology is a one-year program, and both day and evening classes are offered to accommodate working persons like Gregory.
Graduates receive a vocational diploma upon completion of the program.
