Bio

Donald Sral

I'm the Mechatronics and MSSC-CPT teacher at the Newberry County Career Center. After 25 years teaching at Wade Hampton High School and I relocating to the Newberry area, I was looking for a work experience that will allow both personal and professional growth in myself in the field of manufacturing. Newberry County and the upstate are ahead in prepared students for the modern, automated workforce.
