Great job, Vikes!

The Viking Speed Shop has a new addition!

Thanks to a generous grant from the Parsons Area Community Foundation, the Parsons High School Automotive Program was able to purchase an Eastwood Tools Motorized Bead Roller!

Students spent time today assembling and testing the new equipment, gaining valuable hands-on experience in the process. This machine will be a great addition to our shop and will be used for a variety of fabrication and restoration projects for years to come!

A huge thank-you to the Parsons Area Community Foundation for investing in our students and helping us continue to expand the opportunities available through our automotive program!

As this cross-country season comes to a close, I want to take a moment to recognize our senior, **Colten Carson**. Colten has been running cross country since 7th grade, and what an incredible journey it has been! Making it to the State meet three years in a row is an accomplishment worth celebrating, but what makes me even more proud is the dedication, determination, and hard work that have carried him through all these years. I wish I could have been there to coach him through every step of his journey, from those early middle school miles to his final races as a Viking. While I may have missed most of the chapters, I am so thankful I got to be a small part of his story during his final season. Colten, thank you for your hard work, your commitment to this team, and for representing the Vikings so well. It has been an honor to be part of your final season. I hope you look back on these years with pride, knowing just how much you have accomplished. **Once a Viking, always a Viking!** Congratulations on an incredible cross-country career, Coach Fab! 💜🏃‍♂️

First Viking Media off-campus interview in the books! Jamicha interviewed Becky Dantic about the Parsons Area Community Foundation, with Janiyah behind the camera! Great job, Vikings!

It was another busy and productive week in the Viking Speed Shop! Our students began rebuilding a Chevrolet 350 engine, diagnosed an engine bearing failure in a customer’s vehicle, removed a broken key and lock cylinder, and started the process of narrowing a Ford 8.8 rear axle for another project.

Each of these projects provides valuable hands-on experience while allowing students to develop their mechanical skills, problem-solving abilities, and confidence in the shop. There's never a shortage of work to be done, and it's great to see our students continuing to learn and make progress!
