Upper Dauphin Area High School's 'Building Trades Program' is expanding to include a new housing development project, giving students hands-on experience and opportunities for the future.
A rural community in Dauphin County is giving students an opportunity they'll be able to use for life. Upper Dauphin Area High School's 'Building Trades Program' has been around since the early 60s, but the district is taking it to the next level this year."We find it our responsibility to host those problems here locally. So should I say we're a leader here locally? Yeah, I would say that," says Shade.Shade: "It's definitely innovative.
Shade was born and raised in Gratz and is a graduate of Upper Dauphin High School. He's an employee here for a decade and now the superintendent of a district he's known all his life. Shade: "We purchased 67-acres behind us. It's right directly across the street from our high school." The future site of a housing development that students will help build is through "Building Trades Program".
Shade: "It's not just Upper Dauphin students; Halifax, Millersburg, Tri-Valley, Line Mountain if they're interested."
