Monroe High School’s automotive training program has received confirmation of its second accreditation by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) and the National Association for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE.)  Monroe High School was accredited in Maintenance and Light Repair.

     The Monroe High School auto tech program already was accredited in Electrical/Electronic Systems. 

     “We are delighted to have received this accreditation of our Maintenance and Light Repair training program,” said Bryan Zamorski, automotive tech teacher at Monroe High School.  “During the past few months, we have worked closely with NATEF to ensure that our program would meet strict industry standards.

     “Students can be assured of a quality education and shop owners can be assured of getting quality job applicants,” Mr. Zamorski said.  “We work closely with local vehicle dealers and automotive shops and are proud to be able to present them with a very highly trained and prepared future work force.”

     As part of the accreditation process, Monroe High School’s automotive training program underwent a rigorous NATEF-sponsored inspection.  Nationally accepted standards of excellence in areas such as instruction, facilities and equipment were used in evaluating Mr. Zamorski’s program sequence. 

     Donald Seyfer, NATEF chairman, said, “As a result of the quality education provided by Monroe High School, the motoring public will benefit since better repair technicians will join the work force.  This is great news for automotive-minded young people and their parents.  It can increase the cooperation between local education and industry leaders, providing added assurance that Monroe High’s graduates will be employable entry-level technicians.”

     Mr. Zamorski, the auto tech teacher, spent five years as an auto mechanic early in his career and worked on prototype vehicles for auto racing giant, Roush Industries.  He holds six certifications each in ASE and state licenses.
