MINERVA, OH – Minerva High School's commitment to career exploration was on full display this week as the Freshman class participated in the annual Minerva Manufacturing Day Tour on Thursday and Friday. This successful, two-day event provided 9th-grade students with a firsthand look at the diverse and high-tech career paths available in their own community.
The entire Freshman class embarked on the High School Manufacturing Tour, gaining exposure to essential local operations. Students travelled to several key facilities, including:
The Minerva Fire Department offering insight into essential community services and the specialized equipment they use.
Regal Metal Products, where students learned about precision stamping and manufacturing for the automotive and agricultural industries.
Durafin Tube, a leader in heat exchanger tubing, showcases complex fabrication and quality control processes.
In addition to the site visits, PCC Airfoils, which manufactures complex turbine components for aircraft engines, brought their presentation directly to the high school, ensuring all freshmen could learn about the company's advanced technology and career opportunities.
Minerva High School Principal Andy Mangun noted, "This was another successful opportunity to hopefully inspire our students to consider different career paths after graduating. We are incredibly proud of the Minerva businesses that open their doors to help shape our future workforce."
