Washington High School is one of the last high schools in San Francisco to offer an Auto Shop program and you have an opportunity to participate in this program. We have state of the art electronic diagnostic equipment, computerized alignment andwheel balancing machines, service information on CD-ROM, and the latest welding equipment. Students learn the high tech world of the automobile and participate in hands-on shop activities like working on shop engines and their own cars or on cars that belong to the school. There will be running cars for sale to students in auto-shop at a discount price. Advanced Auto is a hands-on laboratory class.
Students work on some aspect of automotive technology everyday.
The Ford Asset Program is a two-year paid internship whereby high school auto shop graduates work in a Ford Dealership while attending Ford service training at the community college. There are so many freshmen requesting admission to this program that students are onlya dmitted who have a letter of recommendation from their high school auto shop teacher. Many GWHS Auto Shop graduates are admitted to Skyline every year. If you are looking to make automotive service work your career, you have many options, and you will be prepared to make the correct choice. This is basically the course outline, if you have any questions just go to Shop 1 and ask for Mr. Schweiger.
