Baton Rouge Mayor Bobby Simpson visited the Glen Oaks Auto Tech Program. The original invitation for this visit was given by Mr. Willie Beathley to the Mayor during a Rotary Club Meeting in January.  Members of the team and the Auto Tech class were elated with the Mayor's acceptance of our invitation.  The Mayor arrived on time and stayed approximately an hour.  Everything went exactly as planned with the Mayor asking questions and taking part in some of the demonstrations.  Also in attendance:  Superintendent of Schools - Mr. Clayton Wilcox; Director of the Office of Career and Technical Education (OCATE) - Mr. Ed Storey; Mrs. Henry, Principal of GOHS and Mrs. Gipson - Assistant Principal, along with Area Automobile Education and Auto Repair representatives. 

Mr. Jason Heckert of South-West Engine Exchange, who employees two of the students in the Auto Tech program, was on hand to see the demonstrations.

Bracket Masters Racing Team had two cars and 9 members on hand to greet the Mayor.  

The young men in the Auto Tech Program gave three demonstrations:  Catalytic Converter Monitoring, Battery Testing and Steering System assembly and repair.  The young men performed flawlessly, answering questions and demonstrating use of advanced testing equipment used to troubleshoot today's modern automobiles.  We were all impressed!  Congratulations to Mr. Lyons and his Auto Tech students.
