Mac Conner and a teacher stand in front of an engine in an automotive technology program classroom at Fort Hayes Career Center.

Some people just don’t like school, and one of those people is Mac Connor.

When Mac started high school, he knew the basics and didn’t see why he had to continue learning reading, writing and arithmetic, over and over again.

Finding the motivation to finish high school was a challenge for Mac until he found Fort Hayes Career Center. The school’s automotive technology program fostered Mac’s love of cars and gave him a path towards graduation.

Hear how Mac found a way to pursue his passion, graduate, and find a job thanks to a local internship.
