The Mingus Union High School Welding Technology program is an electrifying, hands-on career and technical education course (CTE). The course will encompass tools and equipment used in the welding industry. The course will be held in both classroom and welding shop environments.

The uniqueness of this course demands a mature, responsible, and safe attitude from all students. To prevent accidents from occurring, the following rules have been established. To ensure a safe environment all students will be expected to follow all classroom and safety rules. If a violation occurs, the instructor will issue a warning to the student, contact parents or guardians, and follow all school related policies related to the violation.

5 Simple Rules for a productive, safe, and fun year.

  1. Be on time
  2. In the classroom when the bell rings is on time. Being in the shop is not.
  3. Be Prepared
  4. Come to class ready to start class

  7. Be Safe
