New Tech Grant Upgrades High School Engineering Lab
Radcliff, KY · September 3, 2026
Stepping outside confirms late-summer heat is settling right back in, but cooler evening temperatures will offer some relief across the county.
The Lead
Students heading into technical careers just received a major boost in the classroom. Altec Industries has awarded a significant equipment grant to the Hardin County Schools Early College and Career Center, directly funding advanced hardware for the campus Engineering Pathways Lab.
The investment will bring industrial-grade robotics, precision design equipment, and automated manufacturing components to the training floor. For local teenagers—including students commuting from North Hardin High School—the upgraded lab replaces computer screen simulations with the actual machinery standard in modern aerospace, defense, and manufacturing facilities. School officials plan to install the new machinery over the coming weeks, with instructors integrating the tools into the fall curriculum.
