“Schools of choice have choices.”
We work in partnership with one another and our community. Our staff embraces the opportunity to be both educations and mentors to our young men and women through our sports and club programs.
We welcome those who are seeking to rise to their potential and take hold of their future. The student leaders and athletes of Automotive High School are empowered to become active, well rounded citizens of the world.
We offer a wide variety of clubs and other activities through our Student Activities program. Clubs are formed each year based on student interest—new ones are added every year. This year marks the debut of a very important new activity: a revamped Student Government with greater student input in school affairs.

Students build and operate robots and then compete against other schools across the city and country. Last year, Automotive students competed to a tournament in Atlanta.

On November 7th. to 9th., 2004 our students participated at the "Fall Leadership Conference" and won "One Second Place" and "Three First Place Prizes" including First Place for "Best Team Overall".
Student Government
Each year, Automotive students elect representatives from every grade level. They meet with the principal and other staff members every week and propose changes to make Automotive more student-friendly. Student Government members also go on an annual retreat to have fun and plan for the year.
