DRAGG Graduation 2017
To a packed house, DRAGG program finished up another successful year here in the city of Oxnard. Our program graduated 35 students in June after they completed a full year program. We had started with over 60 students back in Aug of 2016. Throughout the year the class is made up of automotive instructors and class room studies that help get the students engaged into the automotive industry. We also take the students on field trips such as the Dragg races in Pomona, Oxnard Christmas Parade, Ventura County Jail and Formula Drift events in Long Beach.
The students are exposed to the industry and at the end of the school year, the program assists many of the Senior students with scholarships towards furthering their education. This year DRAGG was able to hand out over $35,000 in scholarship. With the help of Universal Technical Institute, DRAGG was able to give three large scholarships to attend their school.
This year was a huge success. We are looking forward to next year and with the help of Ventura County Office of Education, we will be opening classes in Oxnard, Camarillo and Fillmore which will help us serve students throughout Ventura County. We are also continuing to build our sponsorship partners. If you are interested in supporting our program, reach out to info@draggteam.org.
