MANCHESTER, NH — Every year the Career and Technical Education students at Manchester School of Technology build a house. Every year, that house is put on the market for anyone in the community to buy. Last year’s three-bedroom, three-bathroom home sold for $325,000!
Supervised by their professional instructors in the carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC trades, the students do nearly 100 percent of the work it takes to build the house and landscape the property. You are invited to tour this year’s building in progress. The walls inside have not yet been sheetrocked, so visitors will have the opportunity to see all the plumbing and electrical work. The house is located on a street where about two dozen other MST homes have been built over the years.
This is also a chance to showcase the program to prospective students.
Current high school sophomores from Manchester, Londonderry, Bedford, and Goffstown interested in enrolling in MST’s two-year CTE program to learn those skills are encouraged to attend this special open house, ask questions, and see what can be accomplished by students in one school year.
The “Beyond the Sheetrock” student-built home tour will be held on site at 100 Stanton St., Manchester, on Jan. 14 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
