This holiday season comes with a gift that will keep on giving. In the spirit of Christmas, St. Philip’s College, in collaboration with General Motors ASEP and South San Antonio Buick GMC, proudly gifted a 2008 Chevy Impala with fewer than 30 miles to Southside High School’s Automotive Technology Program.

This incredible donation will serve as a hands-on training vehicle, giving our future technicians the opportunity to learn, practice, and grow their skills in a real-world setting. We are grateful for this partnership and the investment in our students’ futures—proof that when community and education come together, everyone wins.
