CHS Construction Skills Class
Capital High School's Construction Skills class built and painted a number of mighty fine dog houses this past spring. We would like to pass these onto CHS staff and families for a preferred donation of $75-$100 each. All proceeds go towards supporting our students and their Skills USA competitions this year. A 2024 CHS grad came in 3rd place in the nation, this summer at the Skills USA national competition in Atlanta GA this summer for his CNC milling skills. Contact CHS instructors Mike Pelly or William Murray if you might be interested. Go Cougs! [email protected] [email protected]
