Alex Jurado, MATC Automotive teacher, has nothing but praise for Valenzuela and Boatwright.
“These two students showed up ready to work every day and could always be counted on to help other students in either the classroom or shop, Jurado said.
He continued, “They will go far in the automotive industry. They are champions!”
J.W. Baker, of Wayne, was an adjunct teacher and a big supporter of Mid-America Technology Center for many years.
