Building What was the Tech Center? Was it a place for juniors and Seniors to get out of school, or maybe a place for them to learn a trade for their future? It definitely was not a place to get out of school work! The students at the Tech Center learned everything from cosmetology to plumbing. Whether they wanted the trade they learned as a job or not, they all worked hard. They gained prac- tical experience through different projects provided by the Tech Center. For example classes such as the residential wiring, plumb- ing, brick laying, carpentry, horticulture, sheet metal, and welding combined to build a house that after completion will be sold by a real estate agent or by sealed bid. The house, owned by the County Commissioners, was a sort of landmark for the students who participated for a job well done! They were not the only classes which gained practical ex- perience in school. The cosmetology classes had paying customers come in for them to practice cutting, coloring, or perm- ing hair. The nursing program has sent prospective nurses to the hospital, and nursing home to get experience. It gave students a chance to see if they were cut out to nurse. The Tech Center — not a chance to escape from school, but a chance to build a future.
