Shoutout to Robert, one of our talented Production Technology & Band students! 🎶🔧 For his project, Robert took on the challenge of improving the gong stand — making it safer, sturdier, and easier to move. He welded new pieces, widened the base, added wheels for smooth transport, and even included a handy hook for the mallet. 👏 Fantastic work, Robert! Mr. Plum and Mrs. Berg are proud of your creativity and hard work in class!

We are looking forward to celebrating our seniors!
