Construction Class with Habitat for Humanity

New Partnership with Central MN Habitat for Humanity

Thanks to a Housing Challenge Funds grant from the Minnesota Housing Board, this new partnership will expand Elk River High School's construction program from one that builds sheds to one that builds homes. Students at the high school will be able to gain hands-on experience in home construction, building skills in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, flooring, and so much more, giving them a great basis for entering a promising career in the trades. 

Intro to Construction Trades

Year Long Course: Get hands-on with real construction skills! Learn masonry, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and finishing techniques while using professional tools to build from the ground up.
