Successful right out of the box12 August 2005
Richard L. White Jr. (Oglala Sioux Tribe), Kyle, South Dakota, has the certificate to show his mastery of a handful of automotive subjects. White was recognized by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation for passing a series of assessment exams with flying colors. "He just blew away these tests," said Marcel Gierszewski, Automotive Technology Program director. "His testing was very good for someone right out of the box." Passing scores on five of eight automotive core exams earned him the coveted Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) patch worn by top auto technicians around the country. "He was an exceptionally good student. His attendance was very good," said Gierszewski. White graduated in Automotive Technology with an Associate of Applied Science degree in May and plans to go on for further education.
