Pacific High School CTE, Transportation and Advanced Technology Center

The Transportation and Advanced Technology Center is the first of its kind at any high school in the state. As part of San Bernardino City Unified School District’s commitment to sustainable transportation solutions, the goal in creating the center is to prepare students for a career in the commercial transportation industry.

At the center, students receive hands-on training with leading-edge technology used in the repair and maintenance of various commercial vehicles, such as diesel, natural gas and electric trucks. The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and tools, ensuring students have access to the best resources. Key equipment includes a Level III electric vehicle charger, a 7.5-ton overhead crane, an electronic training S.E.T., and a computer alignment system. Students also work with cutaways of turbochargers, alternators, starting systems, engines, and transmission trainers, as well as a diesel engine trainer.

“We firmly believe that by investing in our students and offering them the opportunity to develop marketable skills through the Transportation and Advanced Technology Center, we are preparing them for a prosperous future in a high-demand field,” said Tom Pace, director of facilities and planning for San Bernardino City Unified School District. “Our students will now be certified and can land career jobs directly out of high school, without needing additional schooling at a junior college.”
This groundbreaking initiative demonstrates commitment to providing students with the best possible education and resources to set them up for success in their chosen career path.
