(Georgetown, DE) Sussex Technical High School is proud to recognize alumnus Eric Williamson, a 2003 graduate of the Automotive Technologies program, for giving back to the next generation of automotive technicians through a $500 donation to a 2026 Senior Scholarship.
Williamson’s journey into the automotive industry began long before he attended Sussex Technical High School. Growing up, he spent time helping his father work on race cars, sparking an interest which would eventually become his career.
While attending Sussex Technical High School, Wiliamson participated in the Work-Based Learning (WBL) program working at First State Chevy. During this experience, he had the opportunity to gain hands-on industry knowledge while working under HJ Bunting, who is now the Automotive Technologies teacher at Tech.
Following high school graduation, Williamson continued his education at WyoTech at the Blairsville, Pennsylvania campus, where he graduated from the Automotive program in 2004. After gaining additional work experience in local garages, Williamson worked full time at I.G Burton, Lewes where he completed his General Motors training.
In 2023 he opened Elite Auto Worx, Georgetown, DE and worked part time in the evenings. In 2025 Williamson left I.G. Burton, Lewes and opened Elite Auto Worx full time.
Giving back to the program which helped launch his career has become an important part of Williamson’s journey. In 2024, he hired his first Sussex Technical High School Work-Based Learning student and is currently in the process of hiring his second Automotive Technologies WBL Sussex Tech student. He is also a member on the Automotive Technologies Advisory Committee.
Sussex Technical High School is grateful for alumni like Eric Williamson who recognize the value of career and technical education and are willing to give back to help future generations succeed.
