Carpentry I introduces students to skills essential to success in the profession. Students use hand and power tools to cut stock; learn to read blueprints; build and install foundations, trusses, doors, windows, stairs, and finishes; and frame walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, decks, and porches. All students will obtain a required OSHA 10 Safety Credential in the class.

As noted in Superintendent’s Memo #106-10 (4-30-2010), this Career and Technical Education (CTE) course must maintain a maximum pupil-to-teacher ratio of 20 students to one teacher, due to safety regulations. The 2010-2012 biennial budget waiver of the teacher-to-pupil ratio staffing requirement does not apply.
