Austin Krier, a senior at Sterling High School and a
student in the Secondary Automotive Technology program at Northeastern Junior
College, was recently named the NAPA Student of the Month for September of this
year. NAPA sponsors a monthly award which is rotated through the secondary
program as well as the collegiate automotive technology program and the diesel
technology program, all operated by the college. Every few months, students are
recognized for their outstanding performance in the classrooms and in the lab
settings where hands-on learning is taking place. Students who win receive an
engraved plaque and a gift certificate from the NAPA Auto and Truck Parts store
in Sterling. NAPA has been sponsoring these monthly awards for more than 20
years now.
Krier is the son of Matt and Krista Krier of Sterling.
This is his first year to participate in the secondary automotive program. This
program is a joint venture of Northeastern and the Northeast Boards of Cooperative Educational
Services
(BOCES)
which allows area high school students to spend some of their school week at the
college’s facility learning skills related to automotive repair and upkeep.
