La Mirada High School

Welding

In its third year, the Skilled Trades Summers program brings together a high-performing team of instructors – led by Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence Winner, Brent Tuttle – and student mentors.

Upper-class high school students train in advanced welding skills and leadership and then become instructors and mentors to younger high school and middle school students teaching high-quality welding skills – using both “hands-on” and virtual welding tools. 

This summer students built barbeques, skateboards, customized cutting boards, and personalized lamps.
