Students in the Building Trades and Construction Design program at Fort Walton Beach High School were recognized on Dec. 4 for crafting Adirondack chairs that were donated to a local organization.
Fort Walton Beach High School Principal John Spolski, the Career and Technical Education Department for Okaloosa County School District, along with staff and administrators from the school attended the recognition ceremony.
The students in James Martin’s Building Trades class constructed 10 Adirondack chairs under Martin’s guidance. The chairs were purchased by an anonymous donor and given to the Fort Walton Beach Alano Organization.
- Mike Griffin, owner of Griffin Carpentry and Painting, and Eric Lewis of Architectural Gutter Systems accepted the chair donation on behalf of the organization.
The Building Trades program prepares high school students for employment or continuing education in construction and related fields after graduation.
