Jackson Rice and Tristan Kriel have a unique perspective when they arrive at the SCPS Bus Garage every day: they are both recent alumni of the Diesel Career Pathway!

Today, they get to work with our Transportation Department, often getting to service the buses they rode themselves just a few years ago!
