Josh McGrath, a senior from Hall-Dale High School, is enrolled in his second year of the Machine Tool & Welding program, where he has consistently demonstrated dedication, skill, and a strong work ethic. Throughout his time in the program, Josh has especially enjoyed designing and manufacturing precision parts that directly align with his future career goals in machining. He takes pride in how much he has learned about the trade and values the hands-on experiences that have helped prepare him for the workforce.
One of Josh’s favorite projects was collaborating with his classmates to build a go-kart from the ground up—a project that required teamwork, problem-solving, and technical precision. Outside of the classroom, Josh stays busy playing baseball for Hall-Dale, working, golfing, and spending time with friends.
After graduation, Josh plans to begin working full-time at Kennebec Technologies, where he looks forward to applying the skills he has developed in the program. His instructor, Cody Rau, describes Josh as “focused, polite, and detail-oriented,” noting that he consistently delivers high-quality work and takes great pride in everything he produces. Josh’s commitment to excellence and his positive attitude make him a well-deserving May Professional of the Month.
