Proud of these students for stepping up at the Kitsap Home & Remodel Expo. They volunteered their time to help younger students experience the trades by working with them at our playhouse painting booth.
It was great to see both former and current students leading, teaching, and representing the program.

Proud of our students for taking advantage of hiring and networking opportunities like today’s McKinstry event.
These experiences give students the chance to meet key leaders, ask questions, explore career pathways, and begin building professional connections early. As they consider their options after high school, opportunities like this help them see what is possible and how their skills can connect to a multitude of careers.
Thank you to McKinstry for investing in students and creating space for them to learn, connect, and grow. #connectwithnewtech
