It's More Than Flipping a Switch ~ Kylie Smith

Imagine this: You’re sitting at the movies with your favorite melted buttery popcorn and a sizzling soda in the cup holder next to you. But wait, that's not all-- your seat reclines with the push of a button! 

Recently, the Electrical Occupation students and their instructor, Mr. Montini, traveled to West Mifflin, PA to work on a 10-plex cinema for the Gold Star Group. 

Both A and B weeks work on the wiring for the fancy new reclining seats along with the exit signs, decorative lights, sound cabinets and digital projectors! 

“What the kids have been doing on this job cannot be simulated in a classroom,” says electrical occupations teacher Mr. Montini.  “This is the real thing!”. 

It is very relieving to know there is a comfy seat waiting for us to enjoy our favorite movies -- all thanks to our EO students!
