Combines learning with auto-tech

Efforts of construction & auto students will combine to complete new installations for safety & cleaning beginning this week. New paper towel holders were purchased for both programs by Mr. Giuliano & anchored to the walls of both respective programs by students. Also basins have been stripped and cleaned as part of needed maintenance. Plans will be started to complete a 75 ft. safety rail in the auto tech lab by advance carpentry students this week too. I will be posting pictures showing progress in coming days. Stay tuned...

Collaborating with Carpentry & Masonry

Students begin work on floor framing from piers laid by the brick masons. When verified by the builder site level, the blocks were perfectly laid. Square, plumb, level - 3 things that make the build process go quickly & easily.

Masonry Class Activities

Things are progressing well with the students and hands on masonry skills. We start a full scale wall project on a multi-part project with Carpentry 1 students next week if things remain on schedule...
