Friday, November 11, was an exciting day for Whitewater High School Tech Ed! The high school Tech Ed Department received a generous donation of a Milltronics CNC milling machine and a Bridgeport mill from Carol Baun and the family of James Baun who owned and operated Baun’s Tooling.

This donation will allow the Whitewater High School Tech Ed Program to continue to update the metal shop area. This equipment will also allow the tech ed program to train more students for youth apprenticeship opportunities where they will receive paid, hands-on training in local manufacturing facilities during the school day! Two students are already working in welding and machining youth apprenticeships at Provisur Technologies this school year.

Thank you to the Baun family for this opportunity and to Troy Clauer of Whitewater Manufacturing for helping us move and set up this new equipment!
