Intro to Construction class has spent time learning the basics of framing, roofing, and other skills needed to be successful in construction. Now the students are ready to put that learning into practice. The class is looking for 2 buyers for sheds to be built by the class. The class can also build a little kid playhouse like the one at the Little Ram Preschool on the North side of the high school.
The shed will include:
Built on skid for easy moving
House framing
Shingled roof
Plywood siding ready to be painted
Wooden door
Available options:
Choose your size! Max size of 10'x10'
Choose your color!
Add windows
Add walk in door
Add roll up door
If you would like to purchase one of the sheds please fill out the interest form below. The interest form will close September 18th at noon. Customization of sheds needs to be expressed in the interest form. The class, Mr. Martin, and the building administration will review all interested buyers and be in contact.
The buyer will be in charge of transportation of the shed from GCHS.
Any questions can be directed to martine@greenecountycsd.net
Photos are from last year's builds.

Greene County High School student Wyatt Babcock recently took advantage of a newly created High School course, Advanced Manufacturing, to design and fabricate a custom drain hole cover for his home workshop. As part of the Advances Manufacturing class Wyatt learned how to program and operate a computer controlled plasma cutter that was used to fabricate the drain cover of his own design.
