Intro took on an abandoned project and we decided to test whether a soapy presoak was beneficial before pressure washing. Conclusion.. no need to waste time soaking before you put the pressure to it. #chscollision.

We recently took a trip to Strip Technologies and B Rod or Customs. We had a great time and there was plenty to discuss once we were back in the classroom. Loads of knowledge and inspiration! Thank you PJ and Larry Burchett for being such great and generous host.

Two different sides with two big dents. #chscollision students displayed outstanding metal working talent on this Silverado!

We always start each project with a degreasing scrub down followed by inspection and damage assessment. Next we take an extra step before disassembly and abrasives by protecting panels that are adjacent to painted surfaces. #chscollision #gobobcats

As our Intro to Collision Repair class moves through the early stages of dent repair, our Collision Repair Painting class is wrapping things up on the other end. #chscollision #865academies

I was also thankful to @knoxcentralhs student Justus Hayes for providing t-shirts produced by his company, Blended Clothing! Justus is a great example of the entrepreneurial spirit that is part of this initiative.

Our 865 Academies initiative to transform the high school experience celebrated a big milestone this morning. Our students did a terrific job announcing their academy offerings, and it was encouraging to see so many community partners supporting this effort!

[Knox County Schools @KnoxSchools]

On Thursday, January 26, the first cohort of schools from The 865 Academies will unveil their career-themed academies. We're excited about this initiative to transform the high school experience, and look forward to celebrating this important milestone!

Thank you North Knox CDJR and Secret City CDJR for being a generous host today. The demand for high quality techs is ever rising and North Knox has a solid plan in place for hiring our students through their apprenticeship program. #chscollision

Last week we learned about mix ratios with food die and water, had some prime time in the booth and then sanded it all back down just right. 👌 We’ll be painting tomorrow to wrap this project up just in time for Fall Break. What color do you think they chose?

[Aaron Hankins @dahankins]

Contemplating. Cutting. Fitting. Bonding. Fall break is 2 weeks out.. will it be done?! #chscollision
