Paul Katson	Roxanne Amiot	Rus Bacarella

SEMA and the North American Council of Automotive Teachers (NACAT) have selected three finalists for the SEMA-NACAT Education Award, a recognition given to automotive educators who emphasize and instruct aftermarket technology in their classrooms.  

The three finalists, Paul Katson from MiraCosta College in Oceanside, California; Roxanne Amiot from Bullard-Havens Technical High School in Bridgeport, Connecticut; and Russ Bacarella from Cypress College in Cypress, California, will participate in the SEMA Education Partners Breakfast at the 2019 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, where the winner will be announced.

“SEMA-NACAT is happy to recognize these educators for going above and beyond to inspire students in the automotive industry,” said Zane Clark, SEMA senior director of education. “All three finalists represent a positive example by fostering professional development to promising students.”

SEMA has several student programs to introduce and encourage kids to pursue careers in the automotive aftermarket, including school outreach programs and scholarships. While the NACAT Award focuses on high school or post-secondary automotive, diesel or collision programs in the United States and Canada, there are also programs focused on grade-school students and middle schools.

The upcoming ’21 Cadillac Escalade is still running in full camo, but engineers did remove an important part of the cladding—the covering over part of the front end, providing a first look at the production-intent grille.

As shown by the photos, the grille follows the general design pattern introduced by the Cadillac XT4 and CT5. Also take note of the size of this thing—the grille looks truly massive, giving the upcoming luxury SUV a great deal of presence on the road.

The next-gen Escalade is expected to launch for the ’21 model year. It will represent a complete redesign over the current model.
