There’s something special happening in the shop at Su Valley High School—and it’s more than just a car build.
In this episode of Education Matters, we headed north to Talkeetna to meet with student members of the Hot Rod Club to talk about their ongoing project: a custom 1930 Ford Model A built from the ground up. From welding and fabrication to engine work and problem-solving, these students are gaining real-world skills that go far beyond the classroom.
What started as a small after-school effort has grown into a multi-year project powered by student dedication, mentorship, and a passion for learning by doing. Along the way, students are exploring career pathways, building confidence, and creating something they can truly be proud of.
