The North Montco Educational Foundation’s fourth annual Car Show will be held on Saturday, May 3 on the grounds of North Montco Technical Career Center.
The rain date is Sunday, May 4.
This annual event invites more than 100 participants and sponsors to display their prized vehicles, trucks, and demo equipment. Past events have featured the H&K simulator and Allan Myers tractors, among others.
The Car Show will feature six “Best Of” categories: Street Rods, Antique-Classic-Survivor, Muscle Cars, Trucks, Imports, and Custom/Modified Bodies.
NMTCC’s welding, auto body, and machining students will craft the first- and second-place trophies for the show. Vehicle registration is available on the North Montco Educational Foundation’s website for a $20 fee, while the event is free for visitors. Attendees can enjoy music, raffles, food/refreshments, and a fun-filled atmosphere for the whole family.
NMTCC wants to engage the community and demonstrate the importance of career and technical education in building Montgomery County’s future workforce. The Car Show runs from 11 AM-2 PM, with check-in from 9:30-10:30 AM.
Sponsorships are offered at the silver ($500) and gold ($1,000) levels. Sponsors can showcase their brand, and their logos will be prominently featured on event t-shirts, banners, and across social media platforms. For more information about sponsorships, call 215-368-1177 x 303 or e-mail [email protected].
NMTCC provides 23 programs of study for students in grades 9 through 12 from the Methacton, North Penn, Perkiomen Valley, Souderton Area, and Wissahickon school districts. Students can enroll in high-demand programs such as Carpentry, Machining, Culinary Arts, and Diesel Technology while still attending high school.
North Montco prepares students with the relevant skills and technology needed for essential careers in today’s workforce. More than 130 students are currently participating in career work experiences or pre-apprenticeships with local industries, with many continuing to work with these employers after graduation.
Industry partners support NMTCC by serving on occupational committees and volunteering as judges during competitive events, fostering a valuable connection between the school and the community.
Proceeds from the Car Show benefit the North Montco Educational Foundation, which was established five years ago. The funds raised help create opportunities for students to develop skills aligned with their career aspirations. Teachers are also encouraged to apply for Innovation Grants sponsored by the Car Show to enhance classroom learning. Recent grant projects have included:
- A trip to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum for the Protective Services program
- The use of AI in the classroom
- Developing new Mechatronics models for hands-on learning.
Last year, the Automotive and Auto Body/Collision Repair class received funding to convert a 1995 Toyota Corolla into a fully electric vehicle. The students are excited to highlight their completed project at this year’s event.
The foundation also supports students by covering the costs of industry-recognized certifications, licenses, hand tools, personal protective equipment, software, and participation in SkillsUSA and the Future Health Professions competitions. These national organizations give students the chance to develop leadership skills, meet peers with similar career goals, and compete at district, state, and national levels.
