Marion students attended the Eastern Iowa Build My Future event at Hawkeye Downs. They connected with local professionals in the trades, gained hands-on experience, and explored a variety of career paths. It was a great opportunity for students to see real-world skills in action and start thinking about their future beyond the classroom.

Our Geometry in Construction students just finished building 4 child-sized picnic tables, 21 flower boxes, and 15 raised garden beds for our local customers.

We love seeing these projects go from raw lumber to finished products for the MISD community. Thank you to our customers for supporting hands-on learning!
