STS LAB REMODEL / SCHOOL REMODEL
STS LAB REMODEL / SCHOOL REMODEL
Starting in November of 2021 the STS department (Woods, Construction Welding and Small Engines and ART) went through a major remodel. There are now fourteen welding stations, a remodeled woods lab and a remodeled Engine Mechanics lab. All three are now their own distinct rooms and climate controlled. Here are some before and After pictures.

Extra Credit
Extra Credit
What is extra credit? Extra credit, for me is something that is done above and beyond the normal scope of the class. Extra credit is something not normally assigned to the class but to individuals who are borderline of getting that next grade higher. Extra credit will only be offered to those students who have completed ALL of the previous assignments assigned in class. This includes all lab projects and main projects assigned.
MISSING OR LATE ASSIGNMENTS
MISSING OR LATE ASSIGNMENTS
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT TO COME AND SEE ME TO GET ANY MISSING ASSIGNMENTS THEY MAY HAVE.
NO POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM ASSIGNMENTS THAT ARE TURNED IN LATE.
ALL MISSING AND LATE ASSIGNMENTS NEED TO BE COMPLETED BY THE LAST FRIDAY OF THE SEMESTER PRIOR TO FINALS.
