Our Beloit Memorial High School Automotive Program was featured in Transportation Today Wisconsin's winter edition. Our automotive program is NAETF certified and has a strong emphasis on employability skills! Our students learn while working hand-on in our Automotive center.

Learning Walk at Gaston
Gaston hosted a Teaching and Learning Walk with Nick Dimassis, Beloit Library Director; Brenda Plakans, Executive Director of Welty Environmental; and Derrick Carter, Executive Director Hendricks CareerTek. During this Walk, our community partners experienced the joy our students have in music class, the excitement our teachers bring to reading, and the foundation we are setting for our students to become experts in science topics. Thank you to Principal Fonda Lewis and her Gaston team and Theresa Morateck and her TLE team for making this happen.
