Instructor: Mr. Standerwick
**This course and all Idaho City High School and Middle School shop and construction classes are open to all students. We are non discriminative and encourage all students, male and female, to participate in all of our shop and construction programs.
Course Description: This course is a combination course with beginning thru advanced level students. It will include some finish carpentry and cabinet and furniture building as they have the opportunity to work on various small projects as well as their own personal projects. It is an exciting introduction to the residential construction and building practices. Through classroom and hands on experiences, the students will become familiar with terminology and practices related to the building trades. The course will include as many field trips as we can work in. Including several field trips to job sites in various stages of completion, blue print reading, lay-out skills, standard framing techniques, cabinet and finish work, and proper safe use of standard hand tools and power tools used in the shop and construction field. Students will also have opportunities to work with some of the specialty tools used in the construction industry. These experiences will allow students to become productive, valuable members on a construction crew. All students will develop and apply strong leadership skills that will benefit them throughout life. Students will become skilled and competent, using all the standard tools of the trade, while building a variety of construction projects.
Every day students are developing and honing construction related skills. Students can measure accurately, cut square and straight lines. They also practice making tough cuts with the skillsaw, in many different positions, which they will encounter out in the field.

The following pictures are from our two day trip to the Magic Valley Construction Expo. that took place in Twin Falls Idaho, in March. A great time was had by all and it was a great learning opportunity for our students, as they worked alongside many skilled professionals. We look forward to taking some of our construction students on this trip again during the 2022-23 school year.

A well deserved break after a long day showing of construction related skills. "We ate way to much pizza," if that's possible, and then we played tourists and went to look at Shoshone Falls. THEY WERE AWESOME!!
We were invited back again, and asked to bring even more students.
The students returned to their home turf. Hats covered with the coveted and highly sought after stickers, all winners!!
Congratulations to each one of you!! You did an awesome job representing our school as well as Idaho City!!
**Unfortunately we missed two years due to Covid. However, we plan on going back this school year, to represent Idaho City High school and the Idaho City High school construction program.
Go Wild Cats!!
