Harbor Freight Tools School Prize Awarded for Teaching Excellence

Congratulations are in order for one of Bullard-Havens finest!  Roxanne Amiot, Automotive Department head, has recently been announced as one the seven second-place winners for the Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence.

693 instructors from around the country submitted applications to Harbor Freight in a variety of different skilled trades (including plumbing, electrical, carpentry, welding, auto repair and more).  Harbor Freight’s purpose is to recognize teaching excellence in the skilled trades that enables students to learn deeply and be career-ready.

Mrs. Amiot, a graduate of Bullard-Havens Automotive program, won $20,000 for Bullard-Havens Automotive program. She stated, “I am a graduate of this program and it made all the difference in my life. I explored the different trades and even as a female was supported in my choice of auto — even though I never thought I could do it — and found out I loved it. This program gave me the opportunity to work at something I loved, and gave me the skills to be successful and earn a living at it. I came back to this school to share this and pass on this gift that was given to me.”

We here at Bullard-Havens are very proud of Mrs. Amiot and her accomplishments.  A celebration is scheduled to occur to honor her achievements.
