Cohen Hunt, a junior at West Side, is participating in the Quitman Building Trades Program! This year, students from surrounding schools are working together to build a 26×62, 3-bedroom, 2½-bath home, which will be auctioned later this spring. They are learning a variety of construction skills along the way while also earning credit through ASUB.
Follow the Quitman Building Trades Facebook page to keep up with their progress! Construction is just one of the many hands-on opportunities available to West Side High School students. Great job representing West Side, Cohen!
