Program Information
     Carpentry provides students with classroom and laboratory experiences utilizing current and developing technology in layout, fabrication, assembly, installation, and repair of structural units.  Emphasis is placed on proper care, use and maintenance of hand and power tools and equipment; common systems of frame construction and principles involved; and additional elements of drafting, blueprint reading, estimating materials, applied mathematics, and the use of computers.
    The curriculum is based on the NCCER national standards and is designed to provide students with specialized classroom and practical work experiences concerning various carpentry components such as installing window frames, molding, trim and panel; erecting wood framework; installing doors; building stairs and assembling parts using hand tools and power machines; layout; blueprints; and various methods of sketching.  Instruction is provided for students regarding decision-making and problem-solving techniques for applying science, mathematics, communication, and social studies concepts to solve technological problems.  In addition, instruction and training are provided in the proper care, maintenance, and use of tools and equipment as well as information regarding applicable local, state and federal safety and environmental regulations.  Hands-on work experiences and Skills USA  leadership activities provide many opportunities to enhance classroom instruction and career development.
