During the visit, instructor Eric Matson and students in the construction program walked Dr. Gauyan through the critical safety procedures required when working on rooftops and elevated surfaces. From proper harness use to securing anchor points, the hands-on demonstration highlighted how students are being trained to meet real-world industry safety standards.
The Out and About with Dr. G series is designed to give the community an inside look at the programs and people that make Walla Walla Public Schools strong. By learning alongside students and staff, Dr. Gauyan gains a firsthand understanding of the skills, safety practices, and career pathways being developed across the district.
SEATech’s Construction Technology program provides students with practical, industry-aligned training that prepares them for careers in the skilled trades, reinforcing the district’s commitment to hands-on learning and workforce readiness.
Watch the full video to see Dr. Gauyan suit up and learn what it takes to stay safe while working at heights in today’s construction industry.

We had our first presentation at West Sound Tech in our new building today! Puget Sound Naval Shipyard was on campus to talk to our students about jobs. Our 2nd floor was busy with our Cosmetology students working. We are learning how to use our building and how amazing it is. #levelup #levelupatwst

Extremely proud of our CBTECH IBP student, Mario Gonzales, for placing 1st at the Regional SkillsUSA Washington competition. Mario will be competing at the State level later this year. Congratulations, Mario, very well deserved.
