Ingleside ISD is providing a way for students to be successful not just by hitting the books but by hitting the workforce.
A millwright program will be added in the fall semester along with another industrial course at Ingleside ISD as they team together with Del Mar College.
Scott Kilgore, superintendent of schools, says it’s important for the Ingleside ISD school district to make sure they provide these programs to students and that they continue to implement new programs like the millwright program.
“Every student is different, they all have different needs, and they all learn differently,” Scott Kilgore said.
Ingleside High School principal Dr. Steve Edlin said that they continuously have meetings with industry leaders and work with them to help provide future employees.
“We’re starting this millwright program as a sister program to our instrumentation and our welding program, where most of our students can have certifications, and go directly into the field and be hired by our partner companies,” Dr. Edlin said.
