Wildcat Wednesday continues this week with a spotlight on Mr. Gerber, Welding and Metal Fabrication Instructor at Whittier Tech.
Now in his eighth year at Whittier Tech, Mr. Gerber values the endless opportunities available to students across every shop. No matter the pathway they choose, he believes Whittier Tech opens doors that help students discover their interests, build skills, and grow with confidence.
A fun fact that speaks to his hands-on spirit. Mr. Gerber and his wife are first-generation farmers.
His advice for students is simple and empowering. "Say yes to every opportunity Whittier Tech has to offer. The worst thing that can happen is that you learn something new."
We are grateful for the guidance, expertise, and encouragement Mr. Gerber brings to his students each day.
