House and Mill Carpentry
The House and Mill Carpentry Department trains students in all aspects of the carpentry field, beginning with use of hand tools and basic shop projects in grade 9, and concluding with customized cabinet and kitchen design in grade 12.
Students are also trained extensively on framing, floors, walls, ceiling, and common rafters. Off-site projects give students the on-the-job training they need to become employable.
Students learn:
- Application of technologies in the construction field.
- Basic home construction.
- Home interior remodeling.
