Being one of few vocational high schools in Indiana and possibly one of the oldest in entire country has always given Hammond Tech a tremendous means of serving the school, community, and country. During the years of World War II, Tech became a training center and production line. Badly needed trained men and women in many phases of wartime work were speeded through the shops at Tech. The school was in operation nearly twenty -four hours daily. It was possibly after these war years when the tremen- dous potential was fully realized and interested parties be- gan an aviation shop in the old building on Russell Street. Modern well-equipped shops prepare vocational stu- dents for a life-time trade and give the academic oriented students the aid of a skill whether they choose to further their educations. Tech shops claim history of service Former Tech students work in aviation shop. 9
