From clay to creation.
Senior Ben Mejia of Haverhill brought artistry and craftsmanship together in art class by creating a handmade bowl from start to finish. Ben shaped the piece on the pottery wheel, fired it in the kiln, and thoughtfully selected the glaze colors, guiding every step of the process with care and precision.
Outstanding work, Ben. Your creativity and craftsmanship shine through in every detail.

Curiosity in the lab, learning in action. 🧪

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.

We’re incredibly grateful to Steve Turner, Founder & President of Bring Back the Trades, for his generous donation supporting our Wildcat Cycle Build 🛠️🐾❤️💛
The Wildcat Cycle Build is a student-driven custom motorcycle build-off that brings together students from Metal Fabrication/Welding, Auto Body, Automotive Technology, Advanced Manufacturing, and CAD Drafting. Working as a cross-disciplinary team, students are customizing a donated motorcycle from concept to completion, applying real-world skills in design, engineering, fabrication, and assembly. The build must be completed by late May/early June in time for Bike Week, where it will be voted on by the public.
Fittingly, our bike is proudly named “Bring Back the Trades.” The build features custom components representing every participating shop, symbolizing the collaboration, craftsmanship, and technical excellence across our CTE programs.
Steve’s mission aligns perfectly with this work. As he shared: “I started this campaign as a small business owner with 30 years of experience in the trade… I’ve witnessed firsthand the growing challenge of finding skilled workers… At Bring Back the Trades, Inc., we are on a mission to ignite a movement that raises awareness of the incredible opportunities in the skilled trades, which form the backbone of America’s economy.”
With the support of industry partners, alumni, and dedicated staff advisors, projects like this give our Wildcats authentic, hands-on experience and spotlight the power and promise of careers in the skilled trades.
Thank you, Steve, for believing in our students and helping us bring the trades back...one build at a time! 🐾🔧
