CALEXICO — Calexico High School's Advanced Auto Shop Class and its pioneering work building electric vehicles made a major impression on a group of state officials and energy experts touring Imperial County recently, on hand to visit sites related to renewable energy, according to a press release sent out by Comite Civico Del Valle.As 20 or so students in blue coveralls worked on a lead-acid battery-powered EV, instructor Keith Fisher spoke to a group of nearly 40 high-level visitors. He explained that this was the second cohort of students to construct an EV car, as he showed in real time the bridge between Career-Technical Education programs and the future of the state's workforce.
