Leaning over the engine, senior Tyler Valencia checks under the hood of a 2002 Toyota Camry. Students in the Automotive Technologies classes work on different vehicles in PHSs garage. Being able to work on cars throughout the school day is an amazing way to learn, Valencia said. Anybody can read a book or watch a video on how to do the things we do, but getting to actually do it hands-on helps us see how a car functions when under different situations. And, since there are millions of different cars on the road, theres always something new to learn.
