It is a challenge to complete a home within the school year. We are supported by many competent subcontractors that model professionalism. They do what they said when they said they would.
Yesterday was a good example. Thank you Magnate Pro Painting and Edge Landscaping for working around us. We even received instruction on installing sod.

An interesting aspect of VH 2026; in 2018 the district had an old oak removed from Gales Creek School. Justin Marble (VH2007) felled it, Scott Ranes (VH1985) hauled it, and Kevin Lund (FGHS Cabinetry 1988-90) milled it.

FGHS Cabinetry teacher Arnulfo Martinez (VH2000 and VH2001) and his class used the lumber in constructing the cabinets for VH2026! Come see the finished product on May 30th, noon to 4pm.

We mourn the passing of Grant McOmie. He was a great advocate for our program.

It's the 50th anniversary of an outdoor education program that guides high school students into the home construction trade.
