Class Overview

"I helped build that house!" That's what Building Trades students say about their course experience. In addition, they often earn money and gain further experience as weekend and summer carpenters before they graduate from high school. Students learn skills needed to construct buildings as training toward an occupation in:

  • Carpentry
  • Electricity
  • Masonry
  • Cement finishing
  • Plumbing
  • Sheet metal work
  • Roofing
  • Painting
  • Landscaping.

Students attend classes part of the school day, then report to the school-operated construction site for the remainder of the day. The most common - and exciting - project for the year is to construct a new home.
