Masonry

About
Are you a detailed person who loves to design and create things? Check out Masonry, a two-year, six credit program, where you will learn many of the skills the construction industry is seeking in qualified candidates! You will learn in a state-of-the-art lab equipped with tools, and you will even have the opportunity to help build a real house to be sold to benefit the education foundation!

In this one year course students work with brick and block on full-sized projects in the shop, on campus and at construction sites. Students learn to use, care for and safely handle the tools, machinery, equipment and materials commonly used in the masonry trade. Activities involve laying brick, building walls and columns and planning and constructing a variety of structures. The masonry program also includes working with stone, concrete and interlock paving. Students will prepare for the following credentials or certifications: Skills Connect Assessment (SkillsUSA)- Masonry; and the Workplace Readiness Skills for the Commonwealth Examination.
