What: Donation Celebration-Gresham Ford donates a 2023 Ford Explorer Platinum vehicle to Gresham High School’s (GHS) automotive program in a special ceremony.
Date: November 18, 2024
Time: 1:00 pm
Where: Gresham High School
1200 North Main Avenue
Gresham, OR 97030
The event will include representatives from the Gresham Ford Dealership and Ford Motor Company, GHS administrators, the GHS automotive instructor, and students currently in the program. The event will celebrate the longstanding partnership to bring Ford technology and automobile education to the students in Gresham High School’s automotive technology courses.
Gresham Ford’s partnership with GHS
In addition to the vehicle donation, Gresham Ford sponsors GHS students' access to the new Ford Tech’s Automotive Career Exploration (ACE) program. Through the program, students explore automotive careers in high school before entering the workforce and obtain valuable knowledge of Ford and Lincoln vehicle training. These courses are a subset of the same courses taken by current service technicians. The ACE program creates a funnel of high school graduates who are qualified technicians.
After high school, students can continue their automotive training at Mount Hood Community College’s (MHCC) Ford Automotive Student Service Educational Training (ASSET) program.
Gresham High is committed to providing students with industry-standard knowledge and skills to help them successfully transition from high school to post-secondary education, training, or directly into industry.
