Beyond the Sheetrock: Tour a student-built home on January 14

Every year, the Career and Technical Education students at Manchester School of Technology build a house. Every year, that house is put on the market for anyone in the community to buy. Last year’s three-bedroom, three-bathroom home sold for $325,000! Proceeds from the sale go back into the program.

Supervised by their professional instructors in the carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC trades, the students do nearly 100% of the work it takes to build the house. You are invited to see this year’s building in progress. The walls inside have not yet been sheetrocked, so visitors will have the opportunity to see all the plumbing and electrical work. The house is located on a street where about two dozen other MST homes have been built over the years.



Current high school sophomores from Manchester, Londonderry, Bedford, and Goffstown interested in enrolling in MST’s two-year CTE program to learn those skills are encouraged to attend this special open house, ask questions, and see what can be accomplished by students in one school year.

WANTED: Community professionals to participate in Career Day

On Wednesday, March 29, 2017, Manchester High School West is hosting a school-wide Career Day. The structure will be different from similar events that often follow a "career fair"-type format in which professionals representing various fields set up displays and wait to be approached by interested students. At West, every teacher will be matched with a guest speaker related to his or her subject area. For example, in the math department, one teacher may host an accountant while other math teachers host a stockbroker or a carpenter. Students will follow their regular schedules and be introduced to a different career field with each class change. Speakers are asked to give a hands-on or interactive presentation to the classes they meet. West is offering full-day and half-day sessions for interested professionals. Lunch will be provided in all sessions. Full day. 7:15 am - 3:00 pm Morning only, 7:l5 am - 11:30 am Afternoon only, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm Members of the com
